I am sure that this place probably deserves a better rating than I am giving it. But I am giving the review from my experience. We did arrive later in the evening and there were a decent amount of people. We were told that the tacos were very good. Upon arriving, we walked in and the lady behind the counter stated…
On a last minute beach trip I found this neat place with very good food and service. Prices are reasonable as well.
I had the chicken tacos and they weren’t good. Chicken was overcooked and no seasoning. Spent $13 for 3 tacos and I couldn’t even finish the last one it wasn’t good.
This is a whole in the wall. But the menu is robust with enchiladas to die for. The service is good. Try it out! My family really enjoyed it. recommended highly recomended from someone i trust.
Very reasonable prices for delicious tacos. It was super busy but there wasn't any issue finding an open seat. Their salsa bar has a number of different types of salsa/aioli (avocado, chipotle, etc) and paired very well with the tacos. 100% recommend if you're in the area.
Very cool patio vibe near the IB pier. Tacos were first rate, cold beer. Check out the sand sculpture!

Excellent Carne Asado Tacos
Thank you Jim for your 5-star review. We appreciate your support.
I am sure that this place probably deserves a better rating than I am giving it. But I am giving the review from my experience. We did arrive later in the evening and there were a decent amount of people. We were told that the tacos were very good. Upon arriving, we walked in and the lady behind the counter stated that if you are going to order food, we need to do it now because the kitchen was closing. She was very rude during the order. The bar was going stay open but not the kitchen. The atmosphere was very trendy. We ordered multiple tacos. The Birria taco were good. The chicken taco was dry, but tasted better with salsa. The spicy shrimp had no flavor and was not spicy. I did enjoy the surf and turf. Beer on draft was good. This place would've gotten a better rating if not for the rude employee.
