VEGETARIAN options! We tried all four of the vegetarian tacos and loved them.
(OK, we didn't love the Mediterranean mushroom, it was merely good, but the Nashville hot tofu, fried paneer, and beer battered cauliflower were all fantastic.) We arrived after 9pm and still got great service.
The only annoying thing was that they closed the patio to new customers after we had already sat down, and a staff person started loudly cleaning up the area, and swept the floor near us.
The selection of beverages was fine, and if we had stayed in town another day or two we would have eaten there again.
Highly recommended!

Emily, thank you for stopping by and sharing your feedback with us!

Update: Horrible service.
Incompetent staff.
made me pay for a taco twice and the manager was completely unhelpful.
Literally thieves. The food is pretty good but it is pricey for what it is.
They have some interesting options but it feels like they sacrifice the quality of the food for the novelty. They have decent vegetarian options but fair warning that the flour tortillas are not vegan.

Daniel, thank you for the 4 stars and feedback! We hope to see you again soon!

With all the different restaurants in downtown ATX, we came here twice on our short trip just to try different tacos on the menu.
The curry queso with chips is so surprisingly good, and the sangrita is strong! Tasty tacos, filling and rich.
