pretty decent tacos if you don't mind them messing up your order. nothing better than simply asking for no guac and then getting home and they were to dumb to comprehend not putting guac on every taco you bought. love spending $45 on tacos to not eat them. don't come here.

Place is nice, pretty good music. Food is okay, nothing to write home about. Not bad, not good. Obscenely overpriced.
