Good, but menu update

Nice, spacious outdoor seating available and they're dog friendly (they provide a water bowl).
Vegan options available, but when we asked about the black bean and mushroom taco, they didn't seem to have it. We ordered the Fried Avocado taco on a corn tortilla without the cheese or lime crema sauce and it was great. It also seemed as if you could build your own taco with sides, but that would require some work.
Service was excellent and knowledgeable. Great cocktails.

Pros: Outdoor seating, Knowledgeable staff, Listed vegetarian options

Cons: No "as-is" vegan options

A couple options, mediocre taste

I love Mexican food but the vegan black bean and mushroom tacos were each super mediocre. Super oily, which is to be expected at the price point, but also just lacking in flavor. It’s good food for when you’re drunk definitely... but not for a dinner out. The guacamole they served with the chips was really good!

Pros: Vegan options, Great guacamole

Cons: Flavorless/oily taco filling, Small portions

Great little spot!

This little spot had more seating than it appeared at first. The servers were great & the soft tacos were very good & fresh. I wouldn’t say there was a huge amount for a vegan here, but enough. My husband & I started with the chips, salsa & guac. Next we got soft, flour tacos of portabella mushrooms & potatoes. If we go back (we live an hour away), I’ll try the salad w/black beans & corn.

Cons: It was too loud & the music was blasted.

Three vegan taco options

Potato, mushroom, or portobello tacos that are vegan when ordered traditional style
