Customer Reviews
“ Got the mango habanero ceviche and birria tacos. Both tasted fresh and there was a lot of fish in the ceviche but wasn’t spicy at all. Drinks were good, service is great. Would come back! ”
“ Amazing food and great prices, about $10 for quesadillas and $15 for three (small) soft shell tacos. Fairly small portion sizes but ordering 2 entrees still comes out to less than a lot of restaurants. Highly recommend. ”
“ Service was nice, and the food was delicious. I would recommend a bigger portion for the price. And, definitely, the need to pay attention to the time to serve. We where just two tables of 2 customers each table, they were around 5 people serving and we wait around half an hour for the order, until we went to ask for the food... At least, was delicious. ”
“ Went for Tuesday $3 tacos! Sat at the bar, absolutely wonderful atmosphere. The ceviche was interesting, nice to try but wouldn't get again. Tacos were nice! But they had no salsa verde or hot sauce. ”
“ A nice place to grab tacos, reminds me a lot of taco tintan in the plateau. We did have to ask for cutlery but overall service was good. The calamari was particularly good! ”
“ I went with my brother today and we LOVED the food. Excellent meals and great service. Very pretty waitresses too :) ”
“ Great place! Ambiance Feutrée :) Great pina colada and Ceviche, the Birria was great also! Recommended ”
