The food and selection at this restaurant was awesome. It is also a super unique place. The interior was decorated beautifully with tons of taxidermy and lush colors and textures. We had a little of everything, and enjoyed it all.

This place has a TON of tequilas to choose from (and plenty of scrumptious margaritas to try them in) but do not overlook their food menu. Even though there are only a handful of tacos on their menu, they pair pretty excellently with whatever it is you choose to drink. Try the mushroom tacos even if you're not vegetarian -- they look like pork BBQ and have the texture of fried chicken! It is rather loud (plus we went during the holidays so they had even more colorful lighting than usual), and it can get crowded (not sure if they have seating options for larger groups) but it's a very fun atmosphere and a perfect kickstart to an evening downtown. Vegetarian options: There is really only one veggie taco option (mushroom) but it was fantastic!

Restaurant was amazing. It’s very small, intimate, and loud! Was almost like a nightclub with the option to eat. We got tacos, margaritas, and some starters. The star of the menu had to be the tuna guacamole! That was amazing! I did not get a picture because it got devoured immediately. The food was awesome and service was great. If I had to complain, I would say the music was a tad loud, especially on the upper level since you right next to the speakers. The decor is great, and they have just about every tequila you can think of.
