“ The service here is top notch. We got the baja taco, Philly taco and the Commonwealth, and we also shared the salad. The baja, has some pickled vegetables that just like a pickle on a hamburger changes the taste of the meal (if you like the pickle taste keep this if you don't make sure to remove it), but otherwise this was a delicious taco. The Philly was like having a very small chicken Philly sandwich. The Commonwealth is different, it uses the bourbon sauce and gives it a unique flavor. The salad came with avocado ranch dressing which really made this salad, otherwise it's just a normal salad. But again I don't remember when or if I've had service this nice before. ”
“ The best TACOS I have ever had!! The brisket and the shrimp taco are definitely our top picks, but they are all delicious and worth reordering. They usually have a unique taco of the day too which is nice. I do always have one regret when leaving here... not ordering tacos to go. ”
“ We ordered to-go meals for 12 people and it came with tortillas, chicken, pork, blacl beans, rice, cheese dip, salsa, home made chips and all the fixings, lettuce, cheese, tomatoes, sour cream etc. We had plenty of food for everyone and even had enough to eat again the second day. We had a whole pan of cheese dip which was plenty and super amazing! We paid 150 dollars and they packaged it all up very nicing in metal sheet pans with lids and a nice large bag with support handles so we could carry everything to the car. I was very impressed so say the least. Oh and I got a To-Go Peach Margarita to drink at home with our meal! It was amazing. The pork was my favorite but the chicken was also amazing. The home made chips were delicious. They also asked if we wanted plates and silverware for our order! It was perfect. Highly recommend this place! ”
“ Had not been back to local taco since its grand opening.. and I'm sad that I missed this goodness for so long. Server was very pleasant and tables were wiped but not necessarily clean. However, the tacos more than made up for that oversight. The place was busy but food came out quickly. Had the nashville hot chicken and blackened grouper tacos, which were delicious. The mixed veggies were piping hot, but I was not overly enthusiastic about all of the onions. Overall I highly recommend trying this place and I will be back. ”
“ One of a kind. This is not a vanilla, cookie cutter americanized mexican restaurant. I felt like I was at a cooking competition, fantastic! ”
“ Came in right as they opened on Sunday. Atmosphere is definitely a younger person vibe with beer specials and margarita specials on the wall with music playing overhead. They allowed us to come inside as soon as they opened, and immediately took our order. The waitstaff was extremely nice and just that perfect amount of coming to the table to check on you. We started with the Queso and chips, which tasted amazing and was hot from the kitchen. Got the Voodoo fries next, and they were that perfect mix of Mexican nacho inspired goodness. I personally ate the Grilled chicken and Memphis hot chicken. The taste was spectacular and the ingredients tasted fresh and worked very well together. I WILL be bringing as many people here for Mexican inspired eats as possible. ”
“ Amazing Mexican Fusion joint recently taken over by new owners. Food is amazing as is the customer service. Being a chef and foodie myself, I can really appreciate the concept. There are quite a few items on the menu that look like they wouldn't work based on the description. But trust me, they all work! And in talking to the staff inside, returning locals order different items every time they visit. I had the Baja Blackened Shrimp Burrito, we shared flautas with chipotle sauce, wife had a Commonwealth Taco and mother in law had the Gringo taco, all of which were amazing, full of flavor, and good sized portions. We will definitely return to try the Philly taco, Korean taco and several other options! ”
“ First time eating there and I had questions on their variety of tacos. The waitress was super nice and put up with my 2 buddies and I questions. We ate 4 tacos a piece and talked about how good the food was all the way home. ”
