Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking along Irving and 9th can be competitive during dinner hours; best luck is on side streets before 6pm. No private lot or valet.
Dress code: Casual—jeans, jerseys, and hoodies are totally fine. It’s a sports-bar vibe, not a date-night setting.
Noise level: Loud during games and happy hour rush, moderate otherwise. Expect raised voices to hear friends.
Weekend wait: 25–40 minutes for a table, faster if you take bar seating.
Weekday lunch: No wait; service is fast and counter-driven.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes – several options like veggie tacos and quesadillas.
Vegan options: Limited – some fillings and sides can be made vegan on request.
Gluten-free options: Partially – corn tortillas are gluten-free but fryers are shared.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Not ideal unless your date is into sports or casual hangs—lively, crowded, and fun but not intimate.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes. It’s first-come, first-served with quick turnover. Bar seats open up often during happy hour.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes during daytime or early evenings; kids love the tacos. Gets loud later during games.
Best For
Better for: Faster service, cheaper tacos, and more lively sports energy than nearby sit-down cantinas.
Skip if: You’re after a quiet meal or elevated margarita experience—try Sunset Cantina or Celia’s instead.
