Always a crowd favorite. Great prices and really wonderful tacos. In warmer months, grab a pitcher of margaritas with friends and sit on the patio. There's usually a line but it moves pretty quickly!

Very cool spot. 30 foot ceilings and industrial decor make this huge building really unique. There's even a second level with a pool table and couches. Such a fun spot for a weekend night! They have a full bar and cheap pizza so it's always a win. Nice patio too for warmer weather.
