“ Chicken tacos for lunch were delicious, along with choro margarita. Order inside and then sit anywhere for lunch service. Very large outdoor seating that is in the shade at lunchtime (nice for warm days). Inexpensive for the quality of the food. Next time I'm in Fort Wayne I'll visit again. ”
“ I went in for their lunch special today and what a surprise and delight to find out they have a pork belly taco!!!! I was served in under five minutes and The flavor is the best in town for this style of food. Great atmosphere and music as well. ”
“ My wife and I dined here with friends treating us to a dinner for our wedding present. I ordered the Carne Asada Fries. The fries were great. They had a crispy exterior while still being warm and soft inside. The flavors in the carne asada frie bowl were balanced well, with not one specific flavor over powering any of the other. They had a decent tap list. The service was great. Our waiter was very attentive and friendly, despite them being fairly busy this night. We enjoyed our visit. We feel that this restaurant is one that everyone should try for the experience and unique food, however, we also feel that because Fort Wayne has so many other offerings, that we might not return as it didn't make our top tier list. ”
“ Can't say enough good things about the experience we had. Wife and I entered late on a Friday night. We were greeted by friendly staff at the door and took a seat at the bar. Even though they didn't have the drink we were looking for anymore (smokey margarita) we were offered several alternatives and went with the cholo. Also ordered some taquitoes that were outstanding! Bartender was friendly and professional. I plan to return! ”

The art is edgy, the outdoor seating is perfect in the summer, and the cocktails are gorgeous and delicious. I recommend the Royal Sebastian if you don’t drink but want to assimilate. ”
