Samuel3.33 ⭐Great service at this quaint taco resto on the 17th Ave. strip. Great selection of Tequila and cocktails. Me and the fellas shared a plate of taco chips and home made guacamole, and a Side of crinkle cut fries both great to start. I ordered the chicken taco on a flour tortilla which was perfect! Tender warm shell, seasoned to perfection and blended well w the vegetable toppings and salsa. Fish taco was even better. Solid crunch upon the first bite revealing the white tender fish. The shrinp tacos were mid and nearly similar to the fish in appearance but tasted bland. They have a couple choices for jalapeno based hot sauces were excellent. Service was top notch this evening and it was on the busier side. Always recommend hitting up places during their happy hour offerings so y
