“ Steve is absolutely amazing and his food is the best around - especially the Bang Bang shrimp, but you really can’t go wrong! ”
“ We decided to try this place on a whim and we are so glad we did. We ordered the lobster roll, Mahi Mahi and blackened sole Tacos. I wish I took photos of our food to be able to include in this review! Last, we were offered the sugar cookie crumble and that was truly a great ending to a great meal. Michael was a great and welcoming host. Overall, we had a great lunch! We will be back! ”
“ Fresh food and amazing staff. We were looking for a new spot for some street food (tacos) and we were half we tried this place. Warm welcome when we came in we ordered the Beef Nachos they were stacked high and the beef very tender. For the mains a spicy shrimp and buttermilk chicken taco all were amazing as you can see by the pictures. We had homemade key lime pie and bread pudding for dessert and they did not disappoint. We spoke to the owner a very nice man and he comes up with weekly specials posted on Instagram. Place is also BYOB. We will be back ”
“ It was literally a fish taco tasting! I ordered two Baja Cod Tacos and the pieces of fish were exemplary of the name. I also ordered (1) Blackened Sole, (1) Bang Bang Shrimp and (1) Mahi Mahi. My wife had the Lobster Taco. All extremely delicious fresh ingredients. The place itself was quaint and the owner Steve was really nice. I'll be visiting again regularly for sure. ”
“ Incredibly delicious tacos! Don't expect only the usual Mexican fare, although they have that too. The chef and owner, Steve Benyo, creates tacos with a great array of diverse flavors. Example: The Fried Chicken Taco is a spicy white meat chicken, served with a delicious roasted corn salsa, and topped with what tasted like a cilantro/lime crema. It was out of this world! Similarly, the Bang Bang Shrimp tacos from the everyday menu, shown half eaten in the photo, are absolutely delicious. The everyday menu has many great offerings, but the specials are where Steve gets to show his creativity and talent, and that's where this restaurant really shines. ”
“ Brilliant. I don't know if the word "elegant" is normally used to describe tacos, but that's the word that comes to mind to describe the tacos here. Not huge and sloppy, but rather hand-crafted with fantastic taste. Also, the loaded fries are amazing and a big enough portion for two people to share. The "kids size" chicken fingers and fries are also high quality, made with good size pieces of chicken. ”
“ 2021: Such a good experience. Amazing food, cooked perfectly, staff is super friendly. Highly recommended, especially if you can get a seat outside (during non covid times). As an added bonus its BYOB. Wine and tacos, who can ask for anymore? 2024: back again from across the pond and it’s still one of the best tacos I’ve had. Pictured are the chicken apple and the bang bang shrimp. ”
“ Love the place. The food is soo delicious yet healthy. Service is outstanding and super friendly. Great value to boot. Must try. ”
