| - I stopped by here this past Friday evening with my fiance and 5 other dining companions. We had tried to set up reservations a few weeks in advance but were told to call that night for a type of call ahead seating. They quoted us about 45 minutes to an hour over the phone and we arrived about a 30 minutes after that. As soon as we entered the restaurant and saw people with a cooler, I realized that it was BYOB. Conveniently there is a liquor store about a block away and while I went over there to get a bottle of wine, the rest of my party arrived and were also seated. There isn't too much to say about the inside of the place as it is done in earthy colors with about 6 tables or so, a bar with the cash register on it and also a set off stairs which seem to be from the days whenever it was probably a house. One thing to note is that while they have air conditioning inside, I can't say that it was terribly effective on the balmy night that we were there. While one side of the table had some very cold legs, that was not my side and my back was soaked with sweat by the time that the meal ended.
For dinner I decided that I should sample a little bit of a lot of things and so I ordered 3 tacos (rib, chicken and wagyu brisket), mac n cheese with brisket on top and also ordered one of their homemade hot sauces. One of our dining companions ordered the queso and chips which came out first and tasted pretty great. The tortilla chips were clearly homemade and had a nice crisp to them and tasted great dipped into the queso. I was thankful for those chips as our tacos and other food took a decent amount of time to come out. My tacos were pretty good with the chicken being my favorite. It came with pickled onions, avocado and a hot sauce that gave it the perfect tang. It made me wish that the hot sauce I had ordered was delivered but sadly that was not to be and I never bothered the waitress to end up getting it. The rib taco was my second favorite with the porter barbeque sauce helping to carry the flavor while the ribs were tender. Finally my least favorite of the overall enjoyable tacos was the wagyu brisket which came with onions, hot peppers and mustard sauce. The mac and cheese that I had ordered was good too, especially whenever I got pieces of the brisket with it, otherwise it was a bit bland for my tastes.
The bottom line for me is that I will definitely be heading back here in the future. The only drawbacks to the place in my opinion are that it is cash only and has limited seating but that is far outweighed by the positives of friendliness of the staff, it being BYOB with a $3.50 corkage fee and most importantly some awesome food.
