Always a crowd favorite. Great prices and really wonderful tacos. In warmer months, grab a pitcher of margaritas with friends and sit on the patio. There's usually a line but it moves pretty quickly!

Very cool spot. 30 foot ceilings and industrial decor make this huge building really unique. There's even a second level with a pool table and couches. Such a fun spot for a weekend night! They have a full bar and cheap pizza so it's always a win. Nice patio too for warmer weather.

Patio goals! When the weather is nice, this is always our first choice. Their patio is so cozy and intimate, it really can't be beat. Their food is also great and well-priced, and we especially appreciate that it's locally owned and operated.
