What a beautiful outdoor spot. The food is delicious and full of flavor. I had the tostada with chicken and black beans. I also had the queso - yum. The chips are perfectly salted. My friends had two different bowls (one carnitas ) and couldn't say enough nice things about them. Pets are allowed. All seating is outdoors. Order at the counter and find your favorite spot.

Finally tried this popular Mexican joint in the Kirkwood area! We went on a late Sunday afternoon, took our dog since it’s all outside patio dining. The line was long to order but it moves fast! You can also go around the building to order a marg while you wait. I definitely recommend the spicy skinny marg! It was DELICIOUS! 10/10! We ordered chips and dip for an app. We got all three salsas and then ordered guac. All were fantastic!! The verde salsa was my favorite. The chips are salty, light, and airy! Super yummy. We ordered 6-7 different tacos. All were good!! The asada was my favorite!! The fried fish was also really good too. The whole experience was great!! We were so hungry, I forgot to take pics. But the outside dining space is HUGE so don’t worry about finding a place to sit. So many options! Highly recommend!

Dairy/vegan free & gluten free options available! I love this place. The line is always long but worth the wait! If you grab a drink at the bar, then wait in line with friends you won't even notice you are waiting! The food is delicious and when the weather is nice it's a perfect place to go!

The vibe here is great, all outdoor seating. Good decently priced Mexican food. I ordered the burrito, not bad. The chips and guacamole are hard to go wrong with and the wings are decent too. Very busy spot.
