Have gone a few times and love the food, drinks and vibe. Service is a bit slow though. Great tacos!

Let's just say this, Tacos & Turntables Tuesdays is amazing with an awesome Dj that plays the best Urban and Latin music. They have $2 tacos, appetizers , and margaritas from 5-7 pm. Wing Wednesday is another great night to be there with great deals. The bartender Freddy that is normally there on Tuesday nights is a super cool dude, always down to play a round or 3 of dice. If you can't make it in those night , I urge you to go in to try the mango fries with pulled pork. They cost around $10 and it is enough to feed two people. Trust me you won't regret it!
This is a fun bar to go to during the week to listen to good music, eat good food, or watch the game. But make sure you get in early on Tuesday &Wednesday, seating at the bar is very limited!
Another tip, they only have street parking and it's usually tough to get a close spot. -

First off I have to say I gave it two stars for a reason.
Food- 4 stars
My friend and I each ordered 6 Thai chili wings and shared the mozzarella sticks and mangos chicken fries. The mozzarella sticks surprised me because I don't typically like wonton wrapper mozzarella sticks but they turned out to be really good. The cheese on top added a little extra to it which made it great! Plus they were 2$ so that was a deal. The wings were crispy and good, nothing extremely special but definitely yummy. The fries were good and the mango salsa was on point. A little pricey in my opinion overall the meal was good. As for drinks I tried the daiquiri which was good, a little Icey which diluted the flavor but good. The food lived up to the hype.
As for the service it was pretty bad (hence the rating). Given that both my friend and I are servers ourselves, we tend to be pretty lenient when servers at other restaurants are busy or forget something. When we got there there were two other tables seated--fine we can wait a little bit. After them paying we finally ordered our drinks, which took another 15 minutes to make. when we received them we still hadn't gotten any water, which we asked for twice prior to. While we sipped some of the server's friends showed up so he got them drinks and talked to them. When I noticed him talking to them I noticed he had made extra of my friend and my drinks and was sipping them (Nice). It was obvious considering we had ordered the only blended drinks made within our 2.5 hours. Probably not a good move on his part to be drinking alcohol at 7pm while working. After thirty more minutes of waiting around, we finally ordered. Still at this point we were the only table besides the bar customers, all whom had eaten or were eating (& drinking) and watching the bucks game--so not really much to be taken care of in terms of customers. While we waited 2 more tables came in and sat and more people came to sit at the bar. We got our MOST food a little bit after. The server verified the type of wings my friend ordered and went and told the kitchen (my assumption is he forgot to write the flavor down and had to tell the kitchen since they had already made them). We still had not gotten water at this point. So we asked again! we started eating the food we had been given and about 5 minutes later another worker came in. Around this same time the servers' friends had also gotten their food--ironic considering they had been there for 45 minutes less than we had. At this point I didn't want to keep eating my food without any beverage so I went up to the bar and asked for water. Two minutes later we got it (finally) but my friend still had not received their wings. after about 15-20 minutes with our food the other server came to fill our waters so I told her we still hadn't gotten them so she went in back to grab them. Honestly in her 20 minutes there she had done more than the other server had the entire time. Anyway after about 5 minutes we were done and wanted some boxes so my friend stopped the original server (talking to another set of friends who came in) and asked for some. At this point we finally got our boxes and checks.
Overall, They were nice I'll give them that but i shouldn't have asked 5 times and waited an hour for a glass of water. Not sure what the deal was but all I'm saying is I saw dude talking to his friends, eating their food and giving them free things more than I saw him doing anything else. -

Some of the best customer service I've ever had!
We called with a complaint about some missing items on an Uber Eats order. Their manager Isaiah got everything sorted out on their end immediately and sent one of his staff to deliver the food that got missed.
The place was super bumpin' busy on the phone but they handled the situation like pros.
The food is solid, Caribbean inspired menu with a lot of different tacos! It's not fancy but for the price, location and hours it's great.
