| - Decent overall! Been here a few times. Love the house salsas, have tried a wide variety of tacos and the Ninja Pig is my favorite; shrimp taco is my least favorite and the only one that I wouldn't order again; chorizo and cochinita pibil were also yummy. I tried the pollo tamale and found it surprisingly bland and dry; probably will steer clear of tamales here. Guacamole is great; friends said the margaritas are tasty and they seemed well priced. Good place for cheap TexMex style food- come away full for less than $13 a person. I really wish they had a few healthier (i.e. not involving beans and rice) options; I would order the grilled fajitas but they serve 2-3 and there's not an individual portion option, and requesting a side salad went poorly each time (first time we were there they said it wasn't something they offered, last time they provided me with a half order of their "tostada salad" which is a fried corn tortilla slathered in black bean spread, covered in heavily dressed iceberg with cheese, avocado and corn- I had only a few bites- it was tasty, but definitely not a good option for someone trying to maintain a healthy lifestyle).
The atmosphere is a little bizarre, especially for anyone who remembers the expansive, refined dining room of the restaurant formerly in this space. Very bright, crowded, earsplittingly loud, and oddly laid out. Surf/beach themed decor. The vibe reminds me of a college cafeteria. There are probably 2 dozen servers and hosts running around, and the food comes out almost too quickly. It's not a place to go and relax but it adds a fast casual option near the square which comes in handy when trying to get to a show or event (although be prepared for a wait- every time we've been it's been packed with a wait time between 20-40 minutes).
