Vibe: A symphony missing a note

On the flip side, the ambiance seems like an uncared-for mom and pop shop, missing the vibrancy of music that usually inspires a taco shuffle. Don't expect to sink comfortably into their outdoor seating either, their brown lawn chairs are as uncomfortable as sitting on a pile of graph papers. However, it does shine on the buzz side. On Taco Tuesdays, the place could rival a beehive with its high energy atmosphere.

  • Aesthetic

Perks: Efficient but needs parking overhaul

The restaurant comes across as a friendly local joint, with staff ensuring swift service. It's also a great place for groups, using their quantity and quality as a tool for splendid hospitality. But, it desperately needs an intervention with its parking. Just getting a spot could feel like winning a Willy Wonka's golden ticket. And it's not any better with the outdoor seating - it detracts more than it adds.

  • Okay for Groups

    Popular with crowds, may be bustling, yet accommodating larger parties

  • Parking

    Limited parking; small lot issues with all businesses open.
