A California chain where the atmosphere actually feels cook! And taco Tuesday is the best - 1/2 price tacos. Great guacamole too! And the margs are the best. Our server was so good!

The tacos were amazing! Had the short rib birria and the carnitas. Also really enjoyed the chips and salsa flight. Would definitely come back again.

Please dedicate a gluten-free fryer so those of us with celiac can actually eat the items labeled as GF on the menu.
