Midtown's Cantina Alley

I honestly wouldn't have known this place existed without social media. I've heard a lot of good things and seen some awesome pictures/videos of the food and drinks they provide. When you're driving by, it's easy to miss. The restaurant is placed in an alleyway, and parking can be difficult to find. There's a photo op out front with the colorful Midtown sign. Restrooms are right at the front, but it's awkward to stand there and wait. There's also a bar if you don't want to sit and order. My friend and I came here for National Margarita Day during happy hour, so it was quite busy. Despite that, the wait was only about 10 minutes. I like that they ask for your phone number to receive a text when your table is ready, so you're not standing there in front of everyone. While we were waiting, we sat on one of the benches located on the outside of the restaurant. Once our table was ready, we were seated at a tiny wooden table for 2. All of the tables were seated a little too close to each other, in my opinion. Everyone was very loud and chatty, but the music was great. It took a really long time to receive our drinks, but the food came out quickly. My friend ordered 2 tacos and absolutely loved them. We also ordered the Margarita Tree, which is a tower of 4 of their most popular margaritas. The drinks were good, but not very strong. I hardly tasted the Patron in any of them. The portion was nice, but the price for the tree was pretty steep. Overall, I think the place is worth visiting, but I hope we can get our money's worth with stronger drinks the next time we visit. I'd love to personally try out some of their food and Veladora Flights.

Best Mexican food I have ate in Sacramento. Born and raised in Los Angeles and the food is hard to beat down there. This place definitely does stand its ground.

This place has the vibe of a bar in Mexico! Really enjoyed the patio. Great service and drinks. My wife had the mango margarita and it was amazing!

Very good drinks!!! I will be back for happy hour! Nice margarita and nice paloma, exactly as expected. I am looking for tacos in Sacramento and some of these are okay but others are not. I would maybe get the taco dorado de papa and chorizo again. The chicharrones were good and crunchy. The fish taco is too much cream and the fish wasn't crispy enough for me, but I also prefer capeado. The pastor was fatty and didn't have the nice flavor I wanted. Music and ambience were definitely nice and so was the staff. I will go back and try different things from the menu next time.

We drove about an hour and a half to check this place out. Atmosphere is amazing. The outdoor vibe is so different makes it stand out. I feel like it’s more known for their drinks rather than the food, but over all great place. Service was great, a little pricey for their menu options though. Great for a date night.

We had some really good drinks and they had plenty of alcohol in them… the food was very tasty, we tried just about everything from the soup, fish tacos, and the sampler of the tacos. The service was excellent…the atmosphere was chill with great music and all kinds of Mexican artwork. I’ll be back.

Good music, good vibes, great drinks but most importantly delicious food. We kept ordering a variety of items on the menu and each did not disappoint. One of our favorite spots in Sac for a reason.

Very cozy "hole in the wall" type spot. Rich in culture, atmosphere is amazing. Food portions are a little small for the price but still very delicious

Love this place! This is a very lively high energy Mexican restaurant right in midtown near a ton of other bars and restaurants. Cantina Alley is so fun to go to either by yourself, on a date, or with friends. The food is good, some items better than others, the drinks are tasty, and the atmosphere is great if you want to be around other people. I've been here on various days of the week and different times. If you plan to come for dinner especially during happy hours and on weekends be prepared to possibly wait 30-45 minutes. Recently came with a group of three and we were sat right away which was a pleasant surprise! My favorite menu items are the Baja fish taco, michelada puerca with Modelo Negra, and the agua de piña. The tacos de papá are a little bland in my opinion. I haven't tried a ton of the menu yet but definitely will! My friends have tried other items like the Al pastor and chorizo tacos and really liked them. Definitely recommend coming here at least once to try the food and enjoy the energy!

We stopped by around 2 PM on a Sunday and quickly discovered it's the perfect time to come, no wait for a table! We ordered a few tacos, the guacamole with chicharrones, and the street corn. Everything was super flavorful and delicious. Our server was kind and thoughtful, and while it seemed like the team was just coming down from a busy rush (a few of our requests were missed), she kindly brought us complimentary churros, which was such a nice touch. Even though it wasn't too busy, the food took a little longer than expected, but we weren't in any rush and enjoyed the vibe. Next time, I'll definitely be trying one of the fun drinks on the menu!

This place is an unfortunate no. Yes, the appearance is a vibe, but the rest remains just that, an appearance. It all falls short. My partner and I went yesterday and were seated immediately. Unfortunately, the hostess sat us at a table front and center that had not been assigned to anyone. We saw server after server pass us right on by, some even glancing over. Fifteen minutes passed, and nothing. We started seeing other people arrive well after us get seated and served, and still no one came to us. Eventually, I asked three different servers what the deal was, and they all said they would go check. Needless to say, only one returned informing us that we were sat at a table without a server. No kidding! There was no apology from anyone, including what appeared to be the manager who had eventually been consulted. The man who eventually helped us was like, well, at least I'm here now. He eventually seemed to feel bad for us and offered some pork skins. So, yeah, no. Customer service sucks! About the drinks and food. No, and no. They messed up my drink, and the two tacos (we didn't even want to order anything after such a disappointing situation) took forever and left far more to be desired. Talk about a terrible experience. It's sad because it's a cute place, but it's a no. We will never return, and I do not recommend them. There are way better places than this. They need to up their game, seriously.

Went for dinner on a Saturday with two friends. There was a short wait, but not very long (5 minutes or so) for a table. The restaurant is a little bit loud but the ambiance is welcoming and comfortable. I got three al pastor tacos and an horchata. The horchata was delicious and you could tell by the texture that it was homemade. The tacos were also very good, although I would encourage others to avoid wearing light colors as they load the tacos up a lot here! There is no way to eat them gracefully.

Great spot! Food was tasty , service was solid, and the vibe was fun. They gave us complimentary chicharrones. Just missed that fifth star due to the fountain water tasting weird. Would definitely come back! Tinga empanadas 10/10!! perfect portion for quick linch break! Agua fresca pepino 9/10!!

This place was a little off to me. They put us on a wait list (expected) but we're allowed to go to the bar. The bar was packed (again expected) but then we got told we can't stand here can't stand there...so why let us in if you don't have room? Then we see about 5 four tops open and no one is being seated... for about 15 mins... then 2 groups get sat down...okay cool...idk if the seating system is just not working but it wasn't it. We finally get sat down and our server took 10-15 mins to even come to our table. He proceeded to ask if we want drinks we ordered drinks, he never asked for our IDs then jokingly asks if we are old enough, then asked if I'm a cop? Umm what? I think he was trying to be funny but it was a very odd encounter lol and then after we ate he told us he was off and invited us to a bar up the street...no thanks sir Food was okay I would go back to try more but maybe not on a Friday. We travelled from out of town and this was recommended and it was just okay. Tables are small we ordered tacos but they came on these weird wood things that take up way too much room on these small tables.

Service was super friendly and quick here from the security to the host to the server. Everyone was awesome. We ordered Perro caliente (a dirty dog) This was pretty tasty and was definitely a level up from the street dogs you get at the carts It had red onion and mango Still tasty just different 3 asada tacos There were lots of white onion which I love but it added to the green salsa and made it pretty spicy towards the end. Would definitely order these again! Maybe with a side of crema lol Watermelon margaritas These were TASTY it seemed like they juiced fresh watermelon and it had pieces of the pulp at the bottom so every sip was fresh. It comes garnished with a pineapple that was dipped in tajin and with a tajin rim on the glass. Will 100% be ordering this drink again!

I honestly wouldn't have known this place existed without social media. I've heard a lot of good things and seen awesome pictures and videos of the food and drinks they provide.

I'd love to personally try out some of their food.

The drinks are the top thing here. I recommend the flights we got, very delicious. The service was good, they are an extremely busy spot but I can see why. Good spot to chill with friends especially during summer time! Will be coming back

Cute covered outdoor spot. We came around 5:30 on a Saturday and had only a 10 minute wait and we ordered drinks at the bar while waiting. It's very vibey with loud music. We both got the taco flight and I loved each taco. I wish they had chips to go with the guacamole instead of pork rinds

This is a hidden spot that was recently recommended to us. It is in an alley. But it is covered with lots of seating. The decor is very latinx, lots of colors and great music. The drinks were really good. We tried the mezcal margarita and prickly pear margarita. Both very delicious, but the mezcal one was my favorite. We did not try the food. We heard from friends it's not that good. Tequila and beer are their main or only alcohol options, no vodka, etc. I came with my husband on a date night, I would recommend not bringing your kids. We went in the evening at about 6 pm, it was loud, and we were glad we didn't bring our 1 year old. The service was good. We were tended to quickly and the bartender often checked in. They're want a lot of people on a Thursday evening, so it was a good time, overall.

Came here last Saturday on one of the hottest days of the year so far and had an incredible experience. Me and my friend were seated quickly and greeted by our waitress. She was extremely friendly and helpful when it came to drink and food recommendations. Food and drinks were amazing and would definitely come back again.

My go-to order: Fried fish taco: 3.5/5 Fried papa taco: 3/5 Al pastor taco: 3/5 Asada taco: 2/5

Great ambiance for happy hour drinks and great service! We came to get a margarita and come to find out....it was happy hour! Although there's not too many options on the happy hour menu, each thing is quality. We didn't order food from happy hour but was not disappointed with the quality that the food was.

Ok, I will admit.....places like these are a dime a dozen. Trendy "authentic" Mexican cuisine, drinks, music, and a happy ambiance of people having a good weekend night out. The majority of these are "meh," but I genuinely had a good meal. My "party" thoroughly enjoyed their tacos, as they got the taco "hanging from a piece of wood" type contraption (I didn't follow up on what it is called). My wife and I each got a fish taco.....surprisingly crispy, even with the cabbage and crema covering it. Bravo (not sarcastic). Fish tacos are usually drenched and are just hard to eat. I would recommend the fish taco....so, from me....FISH TACO! (I have an onion allergy, so I can't enjoy the "authentic street tacos" that all of these Mexican restaurants claim to have). I had a Carne Asada quesadilla, which, without the salsa added to it (again, onions!), the cheese was melty, the meat was not dry, and I would order it again. My party enjoyed their alcoholic drinks....I enjoyed my Mexican coke. Our server was very personable, and our drinks were refilled and napkins constantly replenished. This type of restaurant is typically not my "scene" (can't eat onions, hate "Trendy authentic" Mexican cuisine type restaurants, don't drink tequilla, etc), but this is a place that I think most people will genuinely have a good meal

This is one of those places in Sacramento that I feel like every single human being has been to except myself. I went for the first time recently for a friend's birthday. We had a larger group, so we managed to arrive a little earlier, but still had a bit of a wait for a table. While we waited, we enjoyed some of their delicious margaritas from their bar. I thoroughly enjoyed the watermelon margarita that I tried. Once we were finally seated, we dove into ordering some of their food. I decided to try their taco flight, which allowed me to try four of their most popular street tacos. The presentation of the taco flight was super cool and the tacos themselves were quite tasty. My biggest qualm would be the extremely slow service - it took quite a while to get our waitresses' attention and even longer to get refills on water or more beverages from the bar. It was a Saturday night, we were a large party, and the place was crowded so I am willing to overlook that. But all in all, we ended up spending almost 3 hours there for a friend's birthday dinner... All in all, it's a fun spot with a good bar and the food is decent.

Came here on a Saturday afternoon (around 3pm) and waited over 20 minutes for a server to come and greet us once we were sat down. Not even water was served at the very least... left with still no greeting and drove to nearby Mayahuel Mexican Restaurant which ended up being a much more pleasant dining experience.

Go for the drinks , music . Food is ok .music was good . Good spot for summer drinks the watermelon drinks were good , bartenders are nice

Sunday afternoon had about a 20 minute wait for four people which was fine. Got some margaritas at the bar, (watermelon margarita was ) then got seated. Elote to start and then Al pastor and Verne asada tacos. Super well priced and the food was fire.

Mexican comfort / street food and drinks with the ambience and vibes of as if you were in a Mexican cantina... but you're in Sacramento, California! Food: Taquitos (only available with chicken) - 5/5 - a popular favorite because of the toppings and the presentation Carne en su jugo - 5/5 - savory broth with chunks of meat and beans; of Jalisciense origin ... this dish brings me back to the days living in Guadalajara, Jalisco Tacos - 4.5/5 - love the tacos al pastor (with pineapple) & chorizo were phenomenal; enjoyed them decently more than carne asada nor fish tacos Margarita flights - 5/5 - looks pretty and tastes pretty, since it's not heavy on the tequila Prickly pear - 5/5 - red pitaya Mangonaeada slush - 4/5 - melts fast, quite sweet and you need to throw in the tequila shot yourself or take it as a shot Signature cantina margarita - 5/5 - fantastic; my favorite, a must try! Ambience: Very casual cantina semi-indoors/outdoors style Service: Fast, friendly

Ambiance is energetic and fun, the Baja taco was flavorful with the perfect kick to it! Service was prompt and friendly! Complementary pork chicharones was a cool change-up, but being pescatarian it was a little bit of a bummer since I couldn't eat it. Got the patron margarita tree though.... The picture advertised shows full size patron bottles. But when it got to the table it was mini sized bottles- not worth $55.

Very neat ambiance and like the name suggests in the alley with outdoor seating. Came at night and was lively and breezy. Lots of seating. Food came out quick. My friend got a taco sampler. Didn't take the picture, but the tacos were in paper hung on a mini clothes line with clothes pins. I got 2 tacos; al pastor and Carne asada. The al pastor was pretty good. The pineapples probably weren't fresh. They packed a decent amount of protein in both tacos and the quality of those were good. The asada was alright. It wasn't as flavorful as the al pastor. Saw lots of people get the patron slushy flight. Will have to come back and try those.

This is my second time eating at Cantina Alley and the customer service was top notch! We were greeted by a nice gentlemen who walked us over to the table. Then our server was very sweet, friendly and a noticeably hard worker. She started us off with drinks and shortly after she took our order. It wasn't long till she came back with our food and checked on us twice while eating to make sure the food was ok. She welcomed us to continue conversing and spending time at the table after we paid but we had finished eating and left. I had ordered an Empanada de Tinga that was filled with shredded chicken and melted cheese, topped with crumbled cheese, lettuce and sour cream. 10/10, super delicious! I also order Pozole verde to go but I wasn't a huge fan of because it had chile en vinagre. I was expecting Pozole but without the chiles and carrots in them. 4/10, there was more onions, chiles and carrots but not enough shredded chicken or hominy. Lastly but definitely not least, I ordered tacos de costillas which were so delicious! Never thought about eating short ribs in a street style taco so this was very unique and flavorful! 10/10, amazing. The environment was really loud as it was packed and the music playing made it hard to hear and converse. Can be a potential reason for someone to not want to visit but trust, the food is so good you won't be disappointed or regret visiting! Date visited: 09/15/24

My favorite street food cravings and cocktails in one creative spot! The staff is great and love coming for celebrations or a fun day out. The vibe is all about Mexico and will transport you the moment you step in. With so many unique and delicious options, you will have to order one of everything and share. They have many different events through out the year, so follow them on social channels for all the fun you can't miss!

Exceptional customer service, delicious food never disappoints, fun, lively, and energetic place to go.

Just like it states in the name this Cantina is located in an alley. While it doesn't look like much to see from the outside the place is super adorable in the inside and has a very friendly staff. We went as a big group so we tried a few of their dishes and shared them. The only thing that wasn't very easy to share was the hot dog, it's wrapped in bacon and has a pico with mango added to it. The taquitos come with 8 pieces, it's essentially 4 taquitos cut in half with sour cream and cheese. The favorite was the ceviche , it comes with 3 really good, fresh tostadas. It was a mouthful of delightful flavors. Highly recommend to try it. We of course had to try the drinks. We had Micheladas and Paloma's. The Paloma's are hands down must try! You also can't forget about the dessert, we ordered some churros and when they brought them out they were warm and also included a caramel dipping sauce. So delicious! They do have a small selection as a kids menu, our kids had the quesadilla which had a decent amount of cheese. This place tends to get busy, in fact they currently have a 2 hour limit per table. The staff is very attentive and courteous. They do have music playing in the background and all of the seating is outside with heaters so it's very pleasant. I can definitely see us coming back.

The carne asada torta is OK. They butter the bread and toast it. The only thing is there was a lot of chewy ass pieces to the carne asada that I had to spit out. Tasty though. The michelada was hella good. They top it with their house made chicharones. Bomb! Services was so quick, attentive and friendly. The dope part was it is outdoors and during the summer evening, it's breezy and comfortable. They have a pretty altar space so next time I'll bring an offering. The flip side to being outdoors- hella flies. I spent a lot of my time between chewing and fanning the flies away.

Came in for lunch time, it was a very hot day however inside was just fine and you could not feel the heat. The place stays busy luckily we didn't have to wait a long time about 10 minutes to get seated. Once we got seated the server came and took our orders really fast. I ordered a house margarita it was strong and yummy. I also ordered one taco Al pastor, it was very good. One carne asada taco, the meat was very tender and very good. I also order an elote on a stick. My husband ordered one asada taco, one fish taco and one taco de papas. His favorites were the fish taco (which had a delish & spicy white sauce) and the taco de papa which was perfectly crunchy with a well seasoned potato filling. Warning he said is that the fish taco is pretty messy to eat.

Food was incredible! Israel provided EXCELLENT service and made our experience delightful. The music and ambience were also really great. Will definitely be back!

It's a vibe however the service has gone downhill. Rude host and took 20 mins for a server to come by even after asking several times. Do not recommend for a party larger then 4 people.

Food is always spot on and drinks are amazing . The girl servers tend to be more friendly and pay more attention to detail then the males so I always hope I get one of the girls because every time it's a male something comes out wrong or they just act like they hate their job. The security guards are always sweet and kind so that is fantastic because some places have egomaniacs as security guards. The music is always fun and the ambiance is chill. It's like a safe place for me.

Fun and lively atmosphere. Food and drinks never disappoint! We ordered their margarita flight- wish I was more of a drinker because they were all delicious! I had a bowl of pazole, surprisingly lean which I appreciate, came with a side of chicharrones...balance! Please bring back your sopes!

Tbh the review should be 3.5 overall but I went ahead and rated 4 because of Chuy aka Jesus service. SERVICE: Our Server: Selma was pretty blah and really didn't provide good service like at all. After dropping off our meal she was nowhere to be found. We did want to put more in for our order before HH ended but cest la vie. Chuy stepped in lighting fast to continuously check in on us, refill our water etc. Not sure if she went on break or what but that was pretty ridiculous not to at least ask if we needed anything before or pass of the table and let us know who to ask for. When she finally returned I asked for a to go box and she brings boxes that wouldn't fit. No check just the tiny box .... She comes back a bit later and I ask for another box. Again she brings the tiny box. Atp I'm asking did we have cash cause I'm not tipping her and only Chuy. I AGAIN ask for a box and say do you have a bigger box? Like common sense should say you can see the food won't fit. None the less Chuy again to the rescue as he came over to ask did we need a bag for the three boxes we had. The service from Selma was pretty bad. Her demeanor was monotone like she didn't want to be there and SHE was being bothered... OUR ORDER: -HH Guacamole con chicharrones 8/10 2 heaping scoops and so many fresh chicharrones. It needed a bit more seasoning and would have been a 10/10 -Taquito shooters: 8/10 all the garnishments added to the flavor but the chicken itself wasn't seasoned well -Baja shrimp taco: 9/10 so good. This was seasoned well and the fish was delectable - chicken empanadas con verde: 9/10 not sure if the chicken was the same as the Taquito shooters but the sauce and flavor was a really good combination -Mangoneda with tequila shot 10/10 alcohol forward also tasty The happy hour wasn't the best and there are definitely better restaurants to explore if you're in midtown. Chuy's service was what saved the review.

Talk about Ambiance! You will feel like you're at a real Fiesta! A lot of good vibes, especially if the live mariachi is performing. If not, plenty of good music and DJ's on select nights. The service is outstanding. The servers are quick on their feet and really know how to manage the crowd. The bartenders are extremely attentive and will constantly fill your chicharrón while you wait for your margarita. The bar has an amazing selection. Please drink responsibly. SAC PD is very active in this area because there's always those people who cannot be adults. The food menu is amazing and they do not disappoint. Highly recommend the tacos of course. You can mix and match but you'll enjoy whatever you order. If there's a line down the alley, you won't regret waiting your turn. Highly recommend this for any type of celebration. Tip your service staff.

Came in on a Sunday afternoon in the heat. Seems like seating is outdoor only. There is some mist and fans but lots of flies. We ordered: -IPA $8 -taquitos $12 -carne asada quesadilla $10.50 Food was ok. Staff was a bit non existent had to look for server multiple times. Location is tucked away in the back so it is harder to find. Street parking only I believe.

Went to Cantina Alley on Saturday night and had to wait over an hour for a table, so we walked around the area to pass the time. Once seated, the atmosphere was lively, and the music added to the fun vibe. We ordered some appetizers--the Elote and potato tacos--and they were incredible! There wasn't much variety for mains since we only eat chicken, but I'd definitely return just for the great environment and the delicious appetizers.

This is authentic Mexican cuisine, not Americanized so don't expect to order chips and salsa (don't shoot the messenger, just sharing the info). They have pork rinds as the chips if you want to dip some in some salsa. Tacos are like you get in MX, flavorful, small, lots of cilantro/onions/cojita etc. Delicious. We love the elotes too, as it's kind of basic but authentic. Crowd and vibe is way rowdy, you'll see lots of people who have been there hours and drank a lot of beer or tequila (so it's fun). Lots of parties here and lots of authentic Mexican patrons. Often I am the only non hispanic patron so that adds to the street cred IMO. Decor is very divey Mexico, it's all outdoors (no AC) and rugged so just be prepared to sit on a wooden bench or hard chair and enjoy a great meal.

This is a cool vibes bar & restaurant tucked away in an alleyway. The employees were friendly and helpful. Food was excellent. I highly recommend the fish taco. My only complaint is the security guard who walked back and forth in front of my table made me feel nervous.

Perfect place for a fun end of the week margarita. Our waiter, Herman, was a blast. Delicious tostadas and whoever picks out the pineapples needs a raise (most likely Herman). I will be back to try more

This place has got it all. Great vibes, good drinks, awesome food and an area in the back that looks just like a bar in you'd find in Mexico. I can see why this place is so popular. Whatever occasion you have coming up is a great excuse to go here. There is a bit of a wait at times to get in but very much worth it.

What a fun and delicious spot! I loved the ambiance... the music was a bit loud and did make it hard to carry on conversations... The prickly pair drink was about average, but the watermelon margarita was definitely above average... it was sweet and good, without a strong tequila. I waffled back and forth between the raja empanadas or the potato tacos but ultimately the empanadas one... i am so thankful it did! It was truly delicious!! The batter had a tinge of sweet, coupled with cheese, corn and tomatoes and whatever sauce they put on top. I was full after one but couldn't stop I had to eat the other one! It was so good! We also had an order of the guacamole and pork rinds - which none of us knew it was pork rinds until it was too late lol! But despite the pork rinds the guac was freaking delicious!! I will be back I'm sure!

Walked in from a rainy afternoon. We sat at the bar. So yes if it's raining it is covered so you can come in and enjoy a cocktail. The bar tender was ok. Nothing special. She took our order we order some tacos and a few drinks. I had the Margarita it was a little sweet for my liking. The tacos were good. The restaurant was nice and clean so were the bathrooms. They do have a happy hour if you go between I think 3pm - 6 pm but don't quote me on that.

Amazing have to get the elote and get some drinks!!! Such a fun festive place to go to

LOVE THIS PLACE! It a Sacramento staple that's a must if you want to enjoy some drinks food and catch up with friends or have a fun date. The service is always friendly and nice. The food is always great. My favorite of ours is the taquitos and occasionally a hotdog. I know... and of mix but they are sooo good. They also have more great Mexican food options and drinks so you really have to go multiple times to enjoy it all. Keep in mind that it is all outdoors and the entrance is through the alley way so pick a good time to go when the weather is nice to enjoy a meal outside.

Food: great spot for tacos and authentic food. Just not enough food for vegetarians or/and vegans! Please bring in a veggie menu Service: it's good, when it's busy - it's hard to get their attention but I don't blame them as it gets very packed sometime. Ambiance: it's a vibe for sure, great music!

Cantina alley is nothing short of amazing! The server Hermann was fantastic and really put the short in the amazing lol (jk). really though, he has an infectious personality and really added to the experience! i had the watermelon margarita and the tenga empanadas; fuego! perfect spot for date night, taco tuesday, or just an authentic mexican dine in experience! 10/10

Came here with a a party of 5 for happy hour on a Friday night , we only had to wait five minutes or so for a table. Our waitress was upfront with the kitchen being busy, and she was very helpful with describing the food items and answering our questions. She also checked in on us multiple times before HH ended to ensure we were satisfied. I ordered the tacolgande which had four different tacos and a watermelon margarita. The drink was super refreshing and it did seem to be on the lighter side (in terms of alcohol). The tacos were delicious, I can't remember what was in them but I enjoyed each one. It was served in a cute manner also! The environment is super cute and it's the perfect place to go after work when the weather is nice. You literally need to enter through the alley first, then you'll find the front door (google maps directed us somewhere else). You sit outside where there are plenty of umbrellas and tables, the walls are colorful and decorative. I would highly recommend coming here and hope to come again for happy hour!

Great place to socialize, eat and people watch. Great service, great food and great music!

Great food and service, love to go there and eat a fantastic tacos , definitely recommend
