Items Reviewed:
Their 801 Rum Punch (Coconut rum, with a house punch $12). DECENT. More rum than flavor...

Their QuesaBirria Tacos (beef birria, with chihuahua cheese, inside a blue corn tortilla with consummé $18). DELICIOUS. Cheesy, meaty, & crunchy...with the consummé...good.
Their Steak Tid Bits (chopped flank steak with sautéed peppers, onions, & horseradish sauce over a bed of fries $12). DELICIOUS. The steak was a tad too tough, but its seasoning was...good.
