Excellent veggie tacos and terrific service. The dining area was very clean and I love the decor. Great ambiance music. Since I was in for an early lunch, the chef came a delivered my tacos and chatted a second. Great place. Will be back to check out the late night festivities.

"A GREAT off the Beaten path place to eat and not far from the grime of Gary Indiana! GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE and Family Owned Business. The food is FANTASTIC and the portions are STUPENDOUS!" (They're open on Sundays too! ) I had the Salmon Tacos, YUM!"

a wonderful establishment to go to for after work drinks or for a midday meal. freshly made tacos with a variety of different recipes and different flavors and needs to choose from. I found the bartender to be exceptional and the waiting staff was tremendous! A hidden jewel in the Community!

Delicious and fresh tacos!! Quality ingredients worth the price. The Moscow mule was yummy!! Distinct tequila taste & kick! Fresh made chips were perfect. I can see why they ran out of food. Go early!! Atmosphere for family, friends or dates. I will be back. Friendly service & good music. Recommended trying each taco until you find your favorite.

Great vibe, good music, good decor. Staff knew their stuff and was charismatic. The food was delicious (I recommend the baracoa & pizza taco) and drinks hit the spot (I recommend getting the Red Dress & When We Leaving)

Wonderful atmosphere and great selection of tacos. What impressed me about the food was the texture and flavour of everything we'd tried. We had Buffalo Crispy Chicken Wings, Nachos, Chicken tacos, and Steak tacos all prepared to perfection. For drinks, we had a shot of strawberry tequila which went down super smooth, and I had a cocktail of Nude Beach which is run, pineapple and cranberry juice mix. Yummy! To cap off a great evening, the staff were awesome, very attentive and served swiftly with a smile. Totally recommend and hope to be back again soon.

Excellent food and tasty drinks. We had the two taco lunch special; we tried the pizza, barbacoa, chicken, and steak tacos. All were delicious! Our waitress, Lele, was warm and friendly. We could tell that chef took pride in his work.

Visiting the town and this place looked great online. The food was amazing! Homemade chips, stuffed tacos and great drinks. Will definitely come back if in the area again.
