Listen, 6 bucks for a steak taco sounds ridiculous, but I’m not lying when I tell you it was the juiciest, most well seasoned steak taco I’ve had in town.

Rarely do I find a place with flautas and while not as flavorful as the steak, the chicken is nice and spicy while the tortilla stayed crunchy after an hour and some green sauce taking it over.

Must like cilantro.

This is an extremely popular spot with great atmosphere, but I had a notably bad experience.

The service was subpar, mostly i think the waiter must have been having a bad day because he was lowkey rude and clippy the entire time. Asked for a recommendation on something and he was like “idk it’s fine”. I counted my money wrong and tipped him around 50% on accident which i only bring up cause if he he reads this, it was NOT because of you or your service which were horrible, but I guess I hope you appreciated the tip.

FOOD: it was bad. Our appetizer, the street corn style cheese dip was basically flavorless. It was BEGGING for salt and got nothing. We surmised that maybe the employee in charge of salting food must’ve been out sick. The chips were middling. We only got four tacos.

The potato taco? Mushy potato cubes, not salted, basically flavorless

The pork belly tacos? In desperate need of salt and sauce. The cubes pork belly itself was middling, like they were warmed rather than cooked to order.

The best taco was the brussels sprouts, weirdly, and that was because it actually had some sort of sauce on it.

The agua Fresca I drank was good, but it only served to remind me of all the incredible Mexican restaurants in Wyoming like 10-15 min away.

The atmosphere is good though. The prices are fine.

Had brunch today! The carnitas burrito and the concha French toast were stellar!! Some of the best bites I’ve had in GR in years!!!!

No complaints here. In fact, I’ve only got good to report after my first visit. The atmosphere has a hip, downtown vibe. The service was friendly, prompt, professional, and helpful. Between an appetizer and two taco options, I can confidently say the food is on point. Plenty of outdoor seating for the warm months is clutch as well.

The place is really lively. We went on a Saturday night and had about a 20/30 min wait. We were seated inside, it’s pretty close seating inside. The bar seems to be the main attraction. This place would be very good for singles trying to mingle. Its all plate or alicante food. The burrito i had was decent and the best thing was queso. Its very popular place but just not my scene.

I saw a review of this place on TikTok and was really excited to check it out! When i first walked in service was good loved our waitresses she was so sweet! Ordered a few drinks were mild but for our entree we had got tacos and the steak ones were quite all full with all fatty meat seasoning was WAY to much, chicken taco’s looked like microwaved chicken strips, and the tortillas where hard around the edges, Would have to say the most enjoyable part of my meal was the guacamole and chips! Loved our serve would not come here again as my choice out to eat:/

This place was actually recommended by a friend who came into town with me. We both decided to go get some food and it was such a lovely day we decided to sit outside. The inside is a nice modern atmosphere but earthy feel at the same time. With a nice long bar that extends in an l-shape around the inside of the building.
Outside there’s a nice seating area with gravel underneath your feet and several different ways of sitting with either bench seating or circular tables with a standard stools. They did have a nice cover over most of the outdoor area to keep you out of the sun or the tables had sun umbrellas to help and that was why we chose to sit outside.
Our server Claire was amazing and made sure that our food and drinks were not only on time but delicious as well.
The menu isn’t vast but it’s also not super expensive either. The ingredients were definitely fresh and most ingredients if not all are made in house which is a tough find these days. My two tacos and one drink was under $20 which is amazing for the service and the atmosphere that was provided.
I strongly recommend this place for a lunch or dinner atmosphere with a friend, partner, or family.

Honestly one of the worst Mexican restaurants i’ve ever experienced. Have to pay for chips and only get extra hot salsa that tastes like spicy ketchup. No bowls only plates for salsa. Tiny margs for $10 that you can only get on the rocks and a pitcher for $50 which is 5 glasses so not even a deal. We got 4 tacos, the carnitas and al pastor were okay, the carne asada tacos were chewy and inedible. Atmosphere was cute but not good enough for the lack of good food.

Tacos and beans were tasty but the guac was kind of boring. It was clearly fresh with quality ingredients, just needed a little acid and salt. Between hubby and I we tried 5 different tacos and they were all good but the pescado was my favorite.

We had an issue when we were seated and didn’t get service for quite some time but once she arrived our server was very nice and did a great job.

Chips and queso were amazing very well done, little bit of spice but not bad at all. I had the burrito and it was pretty good, I would order again. The menu doesn’t have any chicken tacos and I feel like that is a real miss tbh considering how many other types they have. Overall good experience would good back would try again.

Update 2025: The chips are still amazing and the shrimp tacos are amazing.
