I spent $22 on two very small and unsatisfying tacos that didn't even have a protein source, along with a glass of beer. Overall, I felt it was not worth the cost and I do not plan on coming back to this restaurant.

While some people may enjoy it, I was ultimately disappointed. The location is great with plenty of space. However, there is room for improvement as the tacos were missing avocado.
