| - Tried this place out the other day and I'm a big fan. Not huge inside, so the seats probably fill up quickly. We went around 6 on a Thursday evening and had to wait a bit to sit down, but there appears to be standing room tables to eat at as well. Those might be really popular around 1am, if they're open that late. :-) Cool vibe inside. Beers and margaritas available, but not a huge selection....but that's ok. This isn't really a drinking joint, by design I'd say. Think food truck, without the truck (and I say that in the most positive way).
Started with some standard chips and salsa. Chips were good, as was the basic pico salsa. Nice and fresh. Our table ordered up some tacos: chronic shrimp, shroomin', chorizo+beef, and steak. Kids enjoyed the chorizo and steak tacos and asked for more, so the sausage must not have been TOO spicy. I had the shrimp and shroomin. Shrimp was great. The sauce they were sauteed in was delish, and the toppings seemed really fresh and tasty. I like the shroomin as well, but was less impressed. Don't get me wrong, it was good, but it could have used something besides just the standard sauteed white-cap shroom. I guess I think when a dish centers around the shroom, throw some variety in there. Just my 2ยข. The staff kept our variety of mexi-beers coming in a timely manner, even with the busy room.
Pay attention when ordering, as there are a lot of options, but many have a little upcharge. Not a big deal but it will add up if you order lots of yellowfin tacos, for example. I wasn't surprised by the bill, though.
Overall, I love the joint. It's like having a great food truck permanently in downtown Willoughby, and serves some delish casual food in a style that I think DTW lacked. I'll be back!
