Pro tip: get the shrimp tacos and fish tacos. You can thank me later. Literally the most underrated restaurant in the entire Peninsula. Their food is outstanding! This is a casual spot that focuses on food and flavor, and good vibes. They also have excellent takeout, so you can order an entire tray of tacos for your kiddos and eat them at home.

average is the best description. From the service down to the food. Overpriced for the portion size. 2 small street tacos for $14. Burris tacos were 2 for $19. I’ve had much better for less.

Food was good. Service was inattentive - cocktail menu arrived 15 min after we were seated; drinks ordered arrived 20 min. apart; multiple attempts to flag a server; etc. A cocktail I had there about 5 times in the past arrived diluted and warm (for $17).
