Community Rating
Reviews via GoogleWhat diners say — our read
Service dominates the conversation here — it comes up in 58% of the 24 reviews. Where service comes up, the rating that follows averages 4.9, so it reads as a strength.
If you had to pick one number to represent this corpus it would be 5, the most frequently given rating (19 reviews). Older reviews score better than newer ones (4.3 recent against 4.8 earlier), so direction is worth weighing alongside the average. One subject never comes up here: plate size.
On the health side, the most recent DBPR inspection returned a C (75/100) with 2 high-priority, 2 intermediate, and 3 basic violations — middling, much like the reviews. DBPR last walked in on January 15, 2026. Ranked against Orange County, it is safer than 12% of the restaurants we score. The citations behind that grade include cross-contamination and in-use food dispensing utensils properly stored.
This is a listing where the two measures each tell half the story. Everything above is computed from the 24 reviews reproduced below.

Awesome atmosphere and a really beautiful location. The food was okay, but the drinks were the highlight they were really good. I'd come back for the drinks and the vibe.
-
Come here for the tacos, especially birria tacos! The menu is typical for a Mexican restaurant, nothing too special. We also tried the chimichanga, which was good as well, but it wasn't as impressive as the birria tacos. The sauce was flavorful, meat super tender, taco shell had great crunch. Food came out super fast, and service was friendly. Prices are reasonable.
-
Their chopped beef in my tacos was so over cooked it was almost like baby food. So loud we could hardly hear the people at our table!
-

Great late lunch at the bar. Service was attentive and Marvin was so knowledgeable and sincere. He made a great ‘Pepino Bliss’ (elderflower gin martini). I asked which shrimp dish was best and Marvin recommended the Chipotle tequila shrimp, it was delicious! The sauce on the shrimp was incredible! My first time here, so glad i tried it. Also I love the aesthetics of the bar and dining space. Lovely experience.
