Overall I had a great experience but the service was a let down. A friend of mine is allergic to avocado so she asked for no guac on her tacos - it was $3 taco night but they told her she wasn't able to get the special deal if revisions were made to the tacos. Given she's allergic and that adding guac to meals normally increases the $ value (and therefore removing it should not!), this was pretty disappointing. Even more disappointing was to see that it wasn't really a plentiful serving of guac on my tacos - it was the lightest drizzle of watery avocado on top. It would have been extremely simple to have left his off but when we asked about it, the waiters were rude and unhelpful and my friend was charged the full price. Disappointing however the food and ambience were fabulous despite the service.

The noise levels are extremely high inside the restaurant. However, because in this instance we booked an outside table the levels were good.

A little loud inside, which made it difficult for my friend and I to hear each other. The sauces on the tacos were a little runny, which made for messy eating, but everything was still delicious. :)

Tacos are amazing and the service is really good. But some of our order was forgotten by kitchen and we have to go back to work (and 1 hour seating was nearly finished) so we had to cancel some of the food :(
