  • "Price point is a little high considering the sizes of the tacos (tortilla) and the portions of food on them."
  • "Our drinks were extremely small for the $14-15 price tag."
  • "If you want to wait 90 minutes for an overpriced bland burrito and $30 non alcoholic sour Sangria pitcher that taste like chalk water then this is definitely the place for you."
