    I came back here for the first time in years. The first time since last decade, and it seems even better than I remember it. The one staff member they had their it seems serving everyone, Elisa, made sure of that. In a world where I'm so accustomed to restaurants declining in quality and cutting corners over time, I had a great experience. Elisa, one of their workers was taking orders, delivering the food to the tables, clearing and cleaning tables by herself, and was knowledgeable about the menu. The service was excelent despite this place being understaffed. I'd definitely come back here again, and recommend it to lots of people. I ordered every taco on the menu and more. I was also here with my vegan friend who was satisfied with the selection of vegan friendly options. So if you're vegetarian or vegan this place may also be a great option for you.

    The cocktail I ordered was good, but the 2 mains we ordered were so bad we could not eat them at all, unacceptable to serve this. A small burnt piece of Salmon and the worst refried beans I have seen in a long time. Was sad and disappointed that this is the level at this location right now.

    Truly a wonderful surprise while walking in beautiful Santa Monica city. The ambiance caught my attention , very modern and minimalistic , and when I checked the menu , I truly wanted to try the tacos. Well , I was extremely surprised by the quality of the Tacos and also of the side dishes , like the street corn and the Agua Fresca of Pineapple and Jalapeño (amazing flavor indeed).Also the fresh salsa and the chips are excellent. The only problem with this place is parking , but oh well , that's the life in Southern California. Price was on spot for the quality offered here too. I will definitely come back or to the other locations in Los Angeles.

    Good value. Portion size you get a good amount. Everything was fresh and tasty. Celiac ok. No deep fryer. Some items GF.

    Upscale modern Mexican food. I got the street corn bowl with chicken which was delicious. My friend got the bean bowl with avocado. We got the margarita which was extremely strong if you like that kind of thing. It has a weird almost smoky after taste. The strawberry basil juice was really refreshing and you can get free refills also. Try both of the Sriracha’s as well. Spicy but tasty. I would 100% recommend this place. The staff are also very friendly!
