Community Rating
Reviews via GoogleWhat diners say — our read
67% of reviews here touch on how guests are treated, more than any other theme. Reviewers who mention how guests are treated rate this place 5.0 on average — it is working in the restaurant’s favour.
Conspicuously absent: portion size, which no reviewer brings up. 24 of 24 rated reviews are four stars or higher; 0 are two or lower.
The kitchen graded a B (84/100) on 1 high-priority, 2 intermediate, and 2 basic violations at its last inspection, which is roughly where the reviews sit too. That inspection was on January 28, 2026. Across its inspection history the kitchen is declining, which argues for reading the older reviews with caution. That puts it ahead of 24% of graded kitchens in Brevard County. Among the items recorded were cross-contamination.
With both signals pointing the same way, there is little to argue about on this listing. The individual reviews are below, newest first, if you want the raw material.

I don't see how this place isn't packed from open to close. The birria tacos were delicious. My daughter had the supreme tacos and cleaned the plate. My girlfriend had the veggie fajitas and loved hers as well. The table side guac is the best I've ever had. Our waitress Olivia was very kind, attentive and gave good recommendations.
