I’ve passed by this place a few times and was always curious, so I finally stopped in for dinner. It was a little awkward at first getting the hostess’s attention, but once I did, she seated me right away. She even asked if I was over 21 since I believe they offer free margaritas as you’re seated, which I thought was a nice touch.
I was placed in a corner that was a bit dark, so I worried I might be overlooked—but thankfully, my server Scott C. was great. Super friendly, communicated well, and made sure I felt taken care of. He gave me time to look over the menu, and even though he had a large table to manage, he let me know he'd be back with me shortly. I appreciated the heads-up. I also had a few questions (since I don’t eat Mexican food often), and he helped me out without making it a big deal.
Chips and salsa came out right away and were exactly what I wanted. The salsa was flavorful, salty, and the chips were crisp—honestly a perfect start. 10/10.
I ordered the Guacamole Simple because I didn’t need the full tableside version as just one person, but in hindsight, I probably should’ve gone with something else. It was basically just avocado. Like… it tasted like avocado. Totally my bad for not double-checking the description. There wasn’t really any seasoning in it. That said, Scott offered to add some of their house seasoning, which helped. I really appreciated that extra effort. 2/10.
The tableside street corn was the highlight of the meal. Super well-seasoned and honestly delicious. I’d return just for that. 10/10.
For the main, I got the Vampiro Tacos with carne asada on Scott’s recommendation. It was around $21 for two tacos, and I’m telling you—they’re stacked. One taco took me out. I got full fast and ended up taking the rest to go. The flavor was solid, but I don’t eat Mexican food often, so I can’t claim expert status. Still, I liked it. 8/10.
I’d definitely come back—but with a friend. I need backup. This feels like the kind of spot that’s perfect for relaxing with chips, drinks, and good conversation. Everyone was friendly, and service was genuinely thoughtful. Scott even packed me a fresh cup of salsa to take home without me asking, which I thought was really sweet.
It is on the pricier side, though—not a casual lunch spot in my opinion. But definitely a great place to treat yourself, celebrate something, or meet up with a friend.
