We had my plate with the chicken tacos come almost 30 minutes before this dish with the beef came out. So both dishes ended up being cold... and only the broth was warm.. this was so disappointing. But I hear their churros are good, maybe we can try again with them and hopefully have a better experience.

Masks are mandatory so be sure to remember yours! I checked out their menu online so I knew what I desired when I walked in. 3 single tacos; smoked chicken, fried fish, and buffalo style coated cauliflower. All were delicious. The cauliflower one was very flavorful. It came with the gauc, pico de gallo and chili banger sauce. The fried fish had coleslaw. Or grated cabbage, with a burst of sauce, better-than-tartar sauce; their farm sauce-so good! The smoked chicken came with pico-de -gallo, cilantro, guacamole. Mmmm. A lil pulled, yet also chunks of chicken protein. All, top notch! The chicken one, admittedly kinda makes me nervous with a possible pork mix up, especially at a Mexican place. However, they were super awesome and I rechecked their menu before eating the rest of that taco, they have no pork taco option. Phew, I thought! They do, what they call gringo beef, as their 4th option. The tacos are small, so I was satisfied after 3. Depending on your appetite and your stomach size that could be jus enough, not enough or too much. It's up to you to gauge accordingly. It was messy. The guy may have forgotten to pack up some napkins in the bag, as I had none. Its covid, I'll let that one slid. Be sure to double check on your take out orders if you're not eating in the comfort of your own home. Something else I noticed was he kinda distracted me with (nice) small talk, while I processed my order on their debit/credit machine. I didnt even notice me giving him a tip until it was already processed. I'm okay with a tip, not so much when it's a surprise at the end of my bill. I know, my responsibility to be attentive to what I am doing. The reason I say this was a tactic of his was because I noticed, he did the same thing with the person in front of me too. So, sneaky, sly, I see you though. Super friendly in spite of the above. I would definitely come back for more at a later date. Oh, I absolutely love how this place features local ingredients. Fantastic!

The presentation was decent, but the portion sizes were smaller than we had anticipated. The flavor of the food was good, but the build-your-own taco experience was lacking as the ingredients were all mixed together on the plate with no clear way to assemble them. Despite this, we still enjoyed our time at the restaurant and found the staff to be very friendly and accommodating.

We chose to sit outside on a nice evening, but it did get chilly later on, so I recommend bringing a jacket if you sit on the patio. I tried the hibiscus margarita and it was fantastic – very sweet with delicious hibiscus sugar pieces. My boyfriend ordered a corona, which was a bit more expensive than expected. We shared the small nachos and wished we had gotten the larger portion – they were amazing! The portion size was good for two people, but we were hungry and finished them quickly. I had the bowl with buffalo cauliflower, which was tasty. Despite a mistake with my boyfriend's taco platter order and some timing issues with our meals getting cold, overall it was a good dining experience. We spent around $70-$75, including a 20% tip, and it was worth it in my opinion.

The chips, salsa, enchiladas, and taquitos were all delicious. I appreciate that the menu is allergy-friendly as well. I highly recommend this restaurant!
