Very good steak tacos, the service was great. I stopped here at around 1:30am after a night out. I recommend checking this place out if you're in the area!

Very good food. Especially tacos. Fresh and tasty. Will try it again. A bit of a hole in the wall type place with many local neighborhood folks who know the food is great. Small seating area and needs a bit of updating. GREAT value for the cost. Limited chips in the small bowl and guac was just okay. Shrimp, chorizo, carnitas all good. Saw a Tilapia platter that looked very interesting. Lots of options to try in the future ... but the menu is very hard to read, with verbiage over pictures, etc.
