Food was good and really fresh, e restaurant is really cute, cozy and love the Mexican music. Manuel was so nice and gave us really good recommendations. Wishing the menu had more options. I would definitely go back again.

Cozy place, not a lot of light. There is an outdoor area if you like to sit outside. I had the best tacos and nachos. Service was great too and food was served in great time. To get great discounts visit during the happy hour or visit on Tuesdays of taco Tuesdays.

This place has a festive and atmospheric interior, and felt authentic. We ordered the crispy mushroom tacos and shrimp burrito. The portions are generous: each taco order comes with two large tacos. My partner and I were plenty full with just those two dishes, and a chips appetizer. A small tip: if you’re ordering a burrito, you already get chips on the side. No need to order an extra chip appetizer. This might apply to other entrees as well, so ask in advance. The food came out fresh, but was a little on the salty side for both of us, especially the salsas. Overall, the food was just okay, not standout. The service was great, super friendly staff! It’s a more upscale Mexican dining experience compared to a hole-in-the-wall burrito joint. But we prefer burritos with a slightly different flavor profile. Our favorite places are still in the Mission. If we were actively traveling on the hunt for a burrito fix, we would go to other places. This is a great spot if you happen to be in the area, or just finished a movie at Metreon!

Super delicious. Very nice staff. Cute outdoor area with heat lamps. Spicy margaritas. Great mango juice for nonalcohol. Everything amazing. Cute small plates and choose your own taco so you can try more food and flavors~
