7.8
A cocktails-and-tacos spot with a more modern, nightlife tilt, especially on weekends when the kitchen runs later. It shines when you order crisp, high-contrast items—fish tacos, one burrito, and a smoky or citrusy drink—rather than overloading the table.
Must-Try Dishes:
Baja fish tacos, Steak tacos, Burrito

What makes it special: Midnight-friendly tacos and cocktails with a dress-up vibe.
Who should go: Cocktail nights that still want real food
When to visit: Fri–Sat late, when it runs until midnight
What to order: Baja fish tacos, steak tacos, burrito
Insider tip: Order tacos first; add a burrito only if you’re still hungry.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking only; manageable early evening but tight after 7pm on weekends. Allow extra time or plan a short walk.
Dress code: Smart casual leaning dressy—nice jeans and a polished top fit right in; sneakers are fine but avoid overly casual looks late night.
Noise level: Moderate to loud late at night—conversation is possible, but it feels more nightlife-forward after 9pm.
Weekend wait: 30–45 minutes without a reservation after 8pm; shorter if you arrive early or sit at the bar.
Weekday lunch: No wait typically; quick seating most weekdays.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—vegetable tacos, rice-and-bean plates, and a few meatless starters work well.
Vegan options: Limited—possible with modifications (skip dairy, focus on veggie tacos and sides).
Gluten-free options: Some options available—corn tortillas and grilled proteins, but cross-contact is possible.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes, especially if you want energy. The cocktails and lighting create a fun, polished mood, though it’s better for lively conversation than quiet intimacy.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Usually yes on weeknights or before 7:30pm. On Fri–Sat after 8pm, expect a wait or aim for bar seating.
Is it kid-friendly? Earlier evenings can work for older kids, but late nights skew adult with louder music and a bar-forward crowd.
Best For
Better for: Cocktail-driven Mexican nights with a modern, Instagram-ready atmosphere and late kitchen hours.
Skip if: You want traditional Mexican cooking, quieter dining, or strong value pricing—simpler neighborhood spots will feel more satisfying.
