Beautiful atmosphere but the no kids allowed i didnt like. Delicious food and the music was great. Im allergic to peanuts so ask if the salsa can be made without peanut oil or any tree nuts. Will visit again for the steak

Amazing tacos! A friend and I stopped in on a Friday. Drinks are a bit more expensive than they should be, but the food was great. I had the Cerveza beer battered fish and Big Boss fried shrimp tacos. Their cole slaw was on both, which was perfect, and the avocado and bacon with shrimp... so good!
