Have been here twice and it's consistent. Really tasty, quick service, and a fun menu and atmosphere. Actually, I'd dare say that I should put two 'really's there. The food here is really, really tasty.

First time I have had to wait 50 minutes for 3 tacos to arrive which was was a suprise as one person came 15 minutes after us with. Special request order and got her tacos 15mins before us. The free drink was a nice gesture just hope this wait time will not occur again.

Awesome food, but waited 40min for fries on Taco Tuesday! The wait staff seem to be run off their feet at the 1pm change in sittings, they do a great job but because they share looking after the tables (instead of having a number of tables each), no-one kept track of what food we hadn’t received yet and so I had to keep asking the wait staff for the food we were waiting for. Would still go back, but would only order tacos on Taco Tuesday 😀

First time last week was absolutely amazing I had to come back immediately. It was very organised and service was very quick and attentive. On this visit, service was much much slower. They returned for final orders as we were receiving our first tacos but fixed up orders very quickly when they missed one taco. Still delicious though!

My wife and I went just for a nice dinner. We got fish tacos, Korean chicken tacos, prawn & pork. I tried the gluten free tortillas (corn) which are less filling then the flour tortillas & quite tasty! Staff are friendly and the place is welcoming.
