Food was stellar. Had Carnita tacos, charro beans, chips and salsa. Everything was good. Bartender is in wrong profession though. Zero social skills. Never said a single word to me and barely a word to any other customer.

I was so happy when we finally went early enough to get into this very popular eatery. So many times we tried but the place was packed so the secret is to get there by 5, Florida early bird style. Loved the cocktails and our bartender made great recommendations. The food was also excellent as expected. Hope to return soon.

Plan for a long wait (1 hour 30 minutes) and visit some nearby bars! The taco options are unique and tasty with flavorful protein! Staff is friendly and very knowledgeable about the menu. Corn tortillas are available for gluten allergies. The kitchen uses canola oil rather than soy for any soy allergies. These accommodations are up to date as of 2023.
