Such an awesome vibe! A small place with a BIG taste! The drink we had was great. They were out of what we originally ordered but that's just the supply issues. We ordered the bowl and WOW amazing! The staff was super friendly and right there if we needed anything. For a Sunday it was pretty packed! Oh and def get the chips and queso -DELISH ?

The BEST Mexican street food!I love this place so much, the food takes my breath away, my fav Elote, the tacos Falda,pescado , tres leches, and of course margaritas! it’s amazing!!! the service is 100% excellent, the Latin music, and everything else very special! We always come back to this place highly recommended!

Reviews looked good, but to our surprise they were closed when we got there. Door was open but there was a sign that said they were not opening for lunch. My question is do we got to call them before leaving to see if they are going to be open? Wasted gas and time. May try them again but probably not.

Ambiance is nice and lively, surprisingly busy when we went. Tacos were okay due to the flavor being mostly the sauce. The chorizo bowl was packed with flavor variety and was much better. There was something with the flavor of the tortilla chips that threw me off but the salsa was great. The chorizo on my tacos were kind of dry but the fish taco was great and not overdone. One suggestion would be to double wrap the tacos with an additional tortilla because they broke so easily which made a mess and difficult to eat. Despite all of this, I will be coming back to try the food again and give it a second chance.

Terrible overstaffed restaurant that took 1 and 15 minutes to get our food. When we spoke up, the staff attacked like animals! We will never go back. They also run similar restaurants in the same way. Deadrise and Kismet! Don't go to any of therm!

(Organized chaos) This place enticed me, when I passed by it this morning. The drinks were great. (Mathew is definitely the one you want making your drinks. This guy seemed to be a c*cky, d*ck at first, but actually not so much.) The other bartenders were good as well. However, this guy definitely knew his sh*t. The apps were "OK". They were a bit salty for my taste. However, they weren't terrible. Let's put it like this, I wasn't tempted to send anything back. If you're a Tequila connoisseur, this is definitely the place for you. The "El diablo" is the equivalent of overtime. Often heard about. However rarely ever seen. This drink is something that you won't find on the standard beverage menu. Nonetheless it is made exceptionally well. I'd order it twice, if that means anything. I'm definitely tempted to see how good the tacos are next time.

An unassuming stop with character and great tacos. We started with the chips and queso. While a different flavor that a typical Mexican-style restaurant queso, it was very good. Next we both got the taco dinner so we could try a variety. Highly recommend all the ones we tried - shrimp (if you like corn), pork, fish (the breading was light and delicious) and brisket. I tried the tomatillo salsa which tasted fresh. The one side of rice was lacking flavor - the only complaint! Great service.

Best spot in Hampton! We didn't have the best server last time. However the servers have been fantastic on all the other visits ✔️ Still the hands down best restaurant in the 7cities.

Really good food and half price margaritas on Wednesdays. I love the big bowl of beans and rice with some type of protein or the taco salad with protein.
