Inside Scoop
- Order 2-4 tacos per person depending on appetite, as they are served individually.
- The music can be loud and the lighting is dim, contributing to a lively, energetic vibe.
- Service can be slow, especially during busy pre-theater times, so allow extra time if you have a show.
- Margaritas are a highlight, with non-alcoholic options available even if not explicitly on the menu.
- Consider making a reservation, especially if dining before a show, to avoid potential delays.
