    Loved this very casual place. Myself and my friend had shrimp tacos and we both loved them and the guys had burgers - they enjoyed them as well. Waitress was extremely personable and efficient. Woman who filled water glasses and cleaned table was on top of her game. Really liked everything. Will go back soon!

    The service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was lively and casual and fun. We enjoyed the appetizers (jalapeño poppers, kung pao calamari, and fried pickles). Unfortunately, our entrees were a bit of a bust. The shrimp tacos were tepid — cooked through, yes, but as though the timing was off from plating to serving. And both these and the cauliflower tacos were served on corn masa tortillas that must have been too cold or stale; it was impossible to pick up any without it cracking clear across the bottom. This was across four entree orders, so it wasn’t an issue of a single broken tortilla. The whole batch was poor. We would return for the service, appetizers, and atmosphere, but rethink the entrees.

    Food was great. I will go again. Good place to bring the family for some pub food especially if you're in the Eisenhower Park area.
