I love this place usually… I sent my daughter here yesterday with a friend as a recommendation. When they arrived the one waitress asked them to wait to be seated.. So they waited and they waited and another waitress walked by and said they could have a seat anywhere.. They went to have a seat and the original waitress walked to their table and said well I asked you to wait to be seated but I guess you didn't listen. She walked away and didn't come back for a good 10 minutes, my daughter called me and I told her to leave... but the other nice waitress came by and finally helped them.. Very sad,...they are both young servers themselves and I hope they learn a lesson on how you should not treat customers or talk to them.

Food was good, staff was very friendly. Tacos are mostly good, one was a little lacking in flavor but the others made up for it.Drinks are well priced and happy hour is great.

GREAT!! delicious skinny marg w jalapeño tequila! burrito bowl - GLUTEN FREE and VEGETARIAN! fast and friendly service! THANKYOU!

Man, this place is GREAT! Like I am mad at myself for not realizing it was around sooner. The tacos are by far the beat tacos I have had in Roanoke. The "southern comfort# catfish taco was amazing! My two girlfriends and I placed our orders then ate then placed second orders for more tacos then I ordered more tacos to take home for my husband. The service was quick and allowed for your overindulgence! They whipped me up a classic rum punch and it was so good I had a few and their signature "Spicy Cucumber Margherita" was really good but it was VERY SPICY! The restuarant was clean and kept and that includs the restroom. The location has like 10 parking spots on the side lot however your best bet ends up being street parking so bring your parallel parking skills.

Walked in and the gentleman we believe was going on his break kindly told us we could find seats as the hostess was not at the front to seat us. As we proceed to find a booth a young lady who has a horrible attitude tells us that we can seat at a clearly clean and empty table. She wipes it then waves her hand that we can now sit. Our waiter was pretty friendly though so that saved this review some. The food was average, the meat was under seasoned in all our meals but I guess I was expecting too much! We got no refills on our drinks as our waiter seemed to be the only one working so ??‍♀️ But if you like blend Tex-mex with a boho feel this is the place

Food was cold. Not as good as the food used to be there. Service was sad at best. We ordered online from brewery next door, and we were excited to bring our out of town guests for Tucos great tacos. Our order online went through, but by the time our guests put in their order, they shut down all orders because they were too busy. It made us terrible hosts and an awkward situation. Also our food was cold even though we picked it up early before they buzzed us. Normally we love this place. Not sure what happened to Tucos.

In short, the chips were the best part about our meal.To expand, we ordered take out from across the street at the brewery (a nice option!) However, we were quickly dismayed by the brown guacamole in a Styrofoam cup, and the fact that each of our burritos came in separate Styrofoam containers. Why do wrapped burritos need additional, separate containers? Furthermore, coming from the west coast, the burritos here were lackluster in every way. From the tortilla, to the corn salsa, the sparce offering of meat, and down to the unexciting red salsa, each ingredient lacked pizazz. I hope your tacos are better.

The happy hour is pretty hard to beat with a good margarita pitcher for $15! Food is decent with a lot of different speciality taco options. Cool spot to chill and get drinks/food.

OMG, the Hillbilly it is soooooooooo good literally it is a must try if you have not. I also had them make me a drink, which was delicious I do believe it was something with coconut.

Had a couple great experiences at first but here lately the service has gone downhill quick. The tequila flights are fun but they can never remember what they poured in what order so they laugh it off and say it’s a guessing game. We ordered the exclusive flight they have to celebrate once and we watched the bartender pour the wrong ones and challenged us when we brought it up so we paid top price for mid shelf tequila. Last straw came when they fried blackened avocado for my tacos and not being able to eat it I showed the waitress and she apologized and took it away but we did not get a replacement for it and it was on the bill. Never mind the food, for a tequila bar you’d think they get the tequila part down.
