Pro Tip

Make a reservation and try to visit on Taco Tuesday for half-price tacos. Street parking is usually available a few blocks away outside peak summer season.

It's a fancy Mexican restaurant masquerading as a street food joint. While it is popular and serves good food, they are very overpriced in general.
