| - I give this place four stars for the happy hour prices. I'd probably give it 3.5 if I had to pay full price.
Went in on Monday around 4:30. Decently busy, but the three of us were able to get a table immediately outside. Nice patio area with a little bit of shade and well-placed misters.
We all decided to get tacos ($2/piece at HR) and margaritas ($5 @ HR).
We split an appetizer of guacamole which was very, very good. A small portion for $8, but we were saving on the tacos, so we decided to go for it. Definitely try it.
I decided to go with three veggie tacos and a cucumber-serrano margarita. My boyfriend had the same tacos and my friend had the braised beef, crispy fish, and baja fish (latter two not happy hour tacos, FYI). I thought my tacos were pretty good, but lacked some depth of flavor. My friend really enjoyed all three and even compared the crispy fish taco to some tacos she's had in Mexico! Not bad. Presentation of all the tacos was spot-on.
The margarita I ordered was a perfect sweetness and very refreshing. It came rimmed with chili powder and salt and a hefty slice of cucumber inside with small pieces of serrano. It wasn't spicy at all and I would've liked a little more heat, but it was definitely the best marg. at the table! The other two margaritas my friends ordered were unpleasantly sweet. Those were the blood orange and the passion fruit margaritas. I'd skip those unless you're into adult fruit juice.
My dinner-mates also got two sides (normally $1 with a purchase of 3 tacos). Even though my boyfriend's tacos were all happy hour options, she still gave him the $1 deal (you're not supposed to do that...She was very friendly). They also got the cucumber orange salad, which was lacking a bit in flavor. There needed to be a better cucumber-to-orange ratio (it was about 95% cukes); the other side ordered was the black beans. Those, on the other hand, were AMAZING.
Staff is all very friendly and fun! Check this place out.
