This was a great Taco Tuesday. The Street Taco special was a great opportunity to check out the various street tacos. They were all delicious, the Barbacoa was a pleasant surprise. The beef was delicious and beautifully spiced. The fresh guacamole was fantastic. Will definitely do this again.

The new limited menu is a bit disappointing because of the lack of options, but apparently it's a struggle to keep a kitchen running smoothly, but this seems to be the way in a post-pandemic world for some places. Beer selection is still very good. Service was fast, friendly, efficient. Reservation request was honored.
