Man, Tuesday was a great day to stop by the Rebel Taco Cantina. I arrived before my friend for cocktails and managed to nab a spot outside on their terrace/patio that offered couches, high tops, and most importantly umbrellas to shade us humans from the heat of the sun. The host was a tall, young gentleman that really greeted me and made me feel appreciated as he chatted with me to my seat.
Luckily for me, I arrived at happy hour time and noticed on the menu they offered $8 sangrias and $10 margaritas. The sangrias come in either white or red and margaritas flavors are much more extensive that include traditional, mango, passion fruit, guava, pineapple, el Diablo and blackberry. I wasn't a huge fan of the sangrias because they felt more filled with soda water than wine, fruits and cordials but was super duper impressed with the food!
Me being the eater that I am took advantage of the $27 all-you-can-eat tacos feature and am proud to say I was able to try quite the plethora of selections. The ahi tuna tacos were served in Bibb lettuce cups and had a nice sesame flavor on top. These didn't slow me down one bit and was ready to try the Lamb birria which could have been friend a tad bit more but were nonetheless scrumptious as hell! The sauce served with was so tangy and viscous and made an excellent pairing. The 'El Jefe' carne asada tacos were fantastic with corona cheese and the 'Pollo Loco' chicken tacos had a nice topping of radishes and cucumbers with the green sauce on top. The 'Shrimp Gone Wild' tacos were served with lightly fried, mini shrimp and had a nice coleslaw served alongside within the flour shell. The 'Catch Me if You Can' mahi tacos were nice but basic and I must admit I was quite full at this point to enjoy any other choices. The chips were very light and reminded my of those at "Chili's" which I LOVE. The salsa had a hint of spice and that combo really hit the spot for me before I even dig into a single taco.
Heidi was our server and very nice. She was knowledgeable of the specials and options and we didn't have any hesitation with her on our side guiding us.
Thanks for taking care of us Rebel Cantina and Heidi! Your spot was a great choice for us!
