This place needs wayyy more reviews and deserves all the stars. I keep trying out new taco places to see which has the best taste and value. And I think I found it today the tacos are soooo good. They were only 2, so I ordered 6 thinking they'd be tiny. They were huge! I can't believe. And so yummy! Delicious tortillas that I hear are made in house. And they give you large portions of salsa! And the Jamaica... just like everything else. Tastes great, large portion. Definitely my go to taco spot from now on. I can't wait to try more items off the menu as well! Best bang for your buck around!
It should be more stars. This restaurant never disappoints. The Shrimp and fish soup is soo good and their peach margaritas are the best!
Walking in, there’s an amazing aroma! Great seasoning, everything cooked well and the music is always good too! Wish I could give 10 stars!!
