A fun and colorful restaurant in the heart of short north. The wait was less than 15min for 2 on a Friday which was great. We ordered a taco flight and a side of Mac and cheese. They all had great flavors and good serving size. Our server was friendly and prompt. If you're looking for a meal with a variety of options, it's a good place to visit.
This was the perfect place to satisfy my craving for tacos. I got the flight of vegetarian tacos and they were some of the best I've ever had. The walls were beautiful and there was so much decor everywhere you looked. Staff was very friendly and made my experience perfect.
Holly was a great server! we had her accidentally twice in a row and both times she was excellent. food is delicious. loved the skinny be taco with its hot honey and slaw. cool vibe and fun atmosphere
Holly was our waitress. She was amazing, informative, and did and amazing job keeping the table sarisfied. Food was amazing as well. We will be back for sure. the ghost pepper salsa was some of the best i have had.
10 out of 10, from greeting, to service, to food and drinks. Cool atmosphere! Definitely will be back!
After wandering around the city, I stumbled upon this place. The decor is quirky with a lot of art and murals. I enjoyed the chandeliers. I got a spicy jalapeño/pineapple margarita and the bang bang vegan taco. I love that you can order single tacos the food was delicious and the service was fast! Shout out to Rachel behind the bar!
The service was good and the food was ok. It was pretty slow, we went one afternoon before a Blue Jackers game. We sat right inside the door at a booth and the bartender served us. There are two vegan tacos available on the menu so I tried them both. I cannot really handle any spicy right now (I wish I could) and one was hard to finish. The meatball (plant ball?) taco was great though. I would have never thought the texture of the crunchy taco shell would add to the flavors of it but it is fantastic. The guacamole we had as an appetizer was decent and my husband liked his Barrera tacos. We would go back here, but I would probably modify something else on the menu instead of just getting their vegan option tacos.
God I love this crazy place!! They have outstanding tacos of all kinds, I love the funky names, the add-ons, the super cool and eclectic, decor and lighting, and of course, the OG margarita!!! Must try the Plain Jane Sugar Daddy -- it's the bestttttt. Service can be spotty but it's worth it. Enjoy!!
Stumbled into a gem! Stopped in for lunch, saw the sign for tacos. Everything was tasty! I had the Ya mon and mom got the Italian sausage smashed taco. And the Mac and cheese Everyone managers and servers were super friendly and the vibe was awesome. We'll definitely be back during my visit.
