Insider tip: Customize spice level on salsas; medium already brings solid heat.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Mostly street parking; metered spots are easier to find after 8pm, but expect a short walk. No dedicated lot.
Dress code: Totally casual — hoodies, gym clothes, post-night-out attire all welcome.
Noise level: Moderate to loud during late-night rush; quiet enough for casual conversation earlier in the evening.
Weekend wait: 5–15 minutes depending on bar crowd spillover.
Weekday lunch: Usually no wait; quick counter service.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Several options — bean and cheese burritos, veggie tacos, and customizable nachos.

Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Only if your vibe is casual, messy, and fun — it’s more of a late-night comfort stop than a romantic setting.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes, it’s counter-service only, and seating is first-come, first-served. Turnover is fast.
Is it kid-friendly? During the day, yes — simple food, quick service. Late at night, it can be rowdy and better suited for adults.
Best For
Better for: Faster, cheaper, and more filling than trendier downtown taquerias; ideal for satisfying taco or burrito cravings without the fuss.
Skip if: You’re looking for craft cocktails, chef-driven dishes, a sit-down experience, or strict dietary controls.
