The carnitas tacos were well worth the price. 2 tacos is more than one person's can really finish, and the carnitas is flavorful and not dry. I would absolutely get them again.

We got a decent meal here. I really wanted the pork belly sliders but they were out of pork belly. Ended up getting a pulled pork taco and a mahi mahi Taco. Both were ok...the garlic fries were really good though.

For all the who-ha about it, it was cold & bland. Take a pass. Garlic fries came wrong, then resent with bacon ketchup, did not feel like correcting the waitress who indicated it was "bacon ketchup" when asked not the "garlic aioli" on the menu. Mac & cheese inedible. Pork... meh.

This place is awesome. It's all outdoor seating right on the water. There is a full bar and the food is delicious. Just 1 5 minute walk from west side downtown. The steak sandwich is spicy and amazing. As for beer, they have 4 or 5 on tap. When I was there last I had the Hess Brewing Solis.

The fish tacos were okay, my husband ordered a chicken sandwich or something and they brought him chicken tenders, then the bartender refused to get us a cup of water for our toddler even though we were sitting there eating. Maybe a misunderstanding but I felt it was extremely rude.

Food was okay. We had the carnitas tacos and fish tacos. We also ordered the fries (not good) and bacon ketchup (awful). Then we watched the cook eating, putting his hands in his mouth, while using the same hands to prepare customers' food. Yes, it was gross.
