very casual place with outside tables (+ small inside area). Btw two people had two fish tacos and two Birria tacos. Fish was tender, Birria tender and great flavors. We both thought that they were the best tacos we’ve had in quite some time. (Saw other patrons with massive burritos, for those who want a larger amount of food). Friendly and helpful wait staff. Close to freeway off ramp and so easy to get to. We will look to come back.
