I recently enjoyed a laid-back dinner at Ay Caramba, and it was quite the treat! I dove into their mouthwatering tacos al pastor, which boasted bold, savory flavors, and paired perfectly with their tangy chipotle salsa. The atmosphere is casual, and my server promptly attended to my needs, making the experience even more enjoyable.

While the chips were a tad under-seasoned, the overall vibe and friendly staff made up for it. I’ll likely be back for their refreshing margaritas soon! 🍹
