What people say

5 out of 5 stars

“Oh goodness. Why did it take us over a year to find out about this place?? First: you can either park along el Camino or parking is along Avenida De La Estrella located right above restaurant. There is a stairwell that brings you right down to it. Be sure to go on Tuesday… taco Tuesday… where they have a phenomenal/affordable menu! Honestly the best shrimp taco I have ever had. I’m just sorry I filled up on chips. They are only opened for lunch on the weekend. The best part… PET FRIENDLY PATIO!!!! Update: Doug and I have gotten to know our waitress amber. Bless her.. she waits on the whole outside and she hustles. Food and spirits all so good. Thanks Amber for always remembering 2 ice cubes and being an outstanding server. Update 3/16/25…. This restaurant is still Crushing it!! Great staff great food, great ambience… must come here!!”

“Food was good, went around brunch time. I was tempted for the smash taco, but opted for the FF combo. I'd say skip the combo and go with the tacos themselves.”
