  I can’t say enough good things about this place. I literally had my (small) wedding reception here and have been many times. The owners are so kind, the taquitos are INCREDIBLE and do not skip the queso. It’s vegan queso but don’t let that stop you, it’s so good. Great place to grab a drink, some bites to eat and hang out with friends. Check out their instagram for different week night events they have as well!
