James Barry

It was excellent food and service. We had the taco platter/board. You get a choice of 5 different ones. We had the Carnetas, pork cheek, fish, steak, and fried chicken tacos. We swapped the rice and beans for roasted corn. It was all amazing. If I had to pick a favorite it would probably have to be the Carnetas, or the pork cheek. If there is any negatives it would have to be the size of the tables. They bring so much food out there is hardly enough room with drinks and chips. The salsa is excellent as well, but the one they have marked as "seriously, seriously hot" is not really. They do have a large selection of hit sauces though. Prices are more than reasonable in my opinion. We will definitely be back.

Had an amazing experience a couple nights ago at this joint. The food was spot on. Executive chef Jack McGinn suggested many items from the menu and they were all fantastic. Hard to pick a favorite but the fried chicken tacos and the grilled scallions were definitely at he too of the list. Spectacular service and a fun atmosphere made the entire experience memorable. We were so happy with the meal that we got a gift certificate to give to a chef friend of ours.
