“ These bites are incredibly tasty and cheesy! We tried the cheese enchiladas, steak chimichangas, tostada loco, and shrimp quesadilla. The service was excellent and prompt. There’s both an indoor and covered patio dining area. I’ll definitely be back! ”
“ Small fast casual place with a freat selection. We really enjoyed the chili relleno and fish tacos, and the salsas are fantastic. Portions are pretty big so keep that in mind when ordering! There's a little bit of seating inside and then a decent sized covered patio. ”
“ Good value for taco Tuesday $2 tacos and $2.50 dos equis. TT Tacos are street taco style. The tortillas were really good along with the salsa. I had a shrimp, fish, and barbacoa. The fish and the shrimp were pretty good. Crunchy good flavor but also slightly heavy on the batter or at least fish was. They are only $2 though so gotta be realistic with expectations. The barbacoa I would probably not order again. It wasn't bad just the texture was kinda soft, probably from being on the steam table for a while. It was ok though and definitely not "bad". Limes and radishes were fresh were excellent and the carrots were really good. Service was quick and they have a patio. If just going for tacos on a Tuesday there are a couple taco trucks I probably would hit up instead but I definitely would return if in the area to get a light dinner and some cervezas too for a reasonable (actually kinda cheap) price. ”
