“ Ok let me start by saying the ingredients tasted fresh and the atmosphere was on point. Our server was attentive and the char on the steaks was amazing! Sauces all had distinct and vibrant flavors. So happy they weren't damaged in the saccos fire. Props to the ventnor fire department for saving this fantastic eatery. P.s. MEXICAN COKE FTW! ”
“ I ordered take out and my order was really fast but I was running late at my dentist appointment for like an hour and half, so when I finally went to the restaurant to pick up my order it was really cold and the kind manager there told me they'll make me a new order. It was absolutely delicious, and when I pass away, I'm pretty sure this place will be in my version of Heaven! ”
“ Excellent food and service. The Al Pastor wasn't fully authentic, but had great flavor and they did a great job making the pineapple minced like the onion. All other tacos were also really good as was the fundido. I would highly recommend. See you again soon! ”
