WALK ON BY (1/5 stars)

Keep on scrolling on Yelp or walk past this place. Two blocks away is Calafia Taqueria that serves amazing food, great customer service and a lot of food for the price you pay.

This place scams you for your money, over charges you and stands by the price of their food. Customer service lacks alot and when they tell you 10 mins, they mean 30. Their costs are tripled & Wait time is tripped.

Never going back here

Officially my favorite place. Upon our return, we were greeted by one of the staff to inform us that she had OUR BABIES LOST SHOE. I WAS SO HAPPY. This is in our regular rotation for dine in restaurants. Everything was still delicious, but we felt like family this time around. We even brought family from out of town and they absolutely enjoyed it, and took delight in watching me destroy the MAMADO

I came here with my friend and they did not disappoint. I ordered a steak burrito and it was good. The only problem was the burrito was really greasy. Grease was dripping heavily out of my burrito but other than that my burrito was fine. They have indoor and outdoor seating with a bar next door so you can definitely grab a drink and food to sit outside.

Came here because the Thai place nearby was closed on Monday and CK was still open at 8:45pm. Glad we did. Ordered the quesabirria and mole-topped wet burrito. Both were great, but the quesabirria was superb. The cheese was fried and crispy on the outside, gooey goodness with a good portion of birria on the inside. Who doesn't love fried cheese?! But probably best to eat it there, not as takeout.

Birria tacos, quesabirria and tacos are all great here!

Happy Hour deal for Tacos on Tuesday!

Love this place for a local bite! Abigail has been my server twice now and she is so funny and sweet. Always offering delicious suggestions and great service.

My go-to are the canastaco fish tacos

First time visiting here after some time at the Pinball museum. The place is airy and clean with qr codes to view the menu.

I'm going to say right up front that my middle rating is because they said my check in Yelp discount of 10% was only for to go orders. I didn't see anywhere that said that.

Our food orders:. Baja fish tacos, carnitas fajitas and chili relleno.

When the waitress came over, the first thing we were asked is if we wanted guac. Suspecting that this would cost extra, we passed. Then she asked about chips and we said no but then she said, "are you sure?". My recommendation is to have the wait staff be clear. Chips and salsa are complimentary and guac is $x.

The fajitas came first and a few minutes later, the fish tacos. 5 minutes later came the relleno.

The fajitas looked fine, served with a bowl of beans, scoop of rice and a side of flour tortillas. My friend asked for salad in place of the beans and rice or if she couldn't do that, just bring it all
A little salad came with the beans and rice.

My fish tacos were a nice portion of fish served on arugula a bit of cheese under the fish and a dollap of guac topped with what tastes like ranch dressing versus jalapeno crema. I enjoyed the tacos but quite difficult to hold due to the size of the fish and the wetness of the toppings. Fish is fresh. The beans are good as the are typical refried beans which are more mixed up. The rice is nothing special.

The chili relleno is not the typical fried item. A pepper filled with veggies, meat wrapped in an egg omelet. Different. Friend are it all.

I'd come back to try other items definitely. Street parking is available.

5th visit. Seafood and baja tacos, asada burritios and birria. All wonderful. Each time. Fast and friendly service. Yum. Worth it.

First time here

Check in on Yelp and get 10% off

Venue is clean
There is indoor and outdoor seating

Our waiter/server was friendly and efficient

Prices are reasonable

Food quality is decent
I had one taco of Lengua $2.50

They have a sign that says EVERY DAY IS TACO TUESDAY All tacos are $2.50 every day

I had 2 margaritas...... They were ok.... Could have been a bit stronger

Parking is hard to find, no private parking lot Street parking only. A light over our table kept flickering that was kinda annoying

Door to the restaurant stays open and it was kinda cold inside

Would I come back here again..... sure why not
