I would give 10/5 just for their attention and service We saw them couple of times while taking a walk in downtown and before it gets too cold wanted to sit and eat outside So on a Monday evening we went for dinner It was not too chilly, good if you are wearing a jacket kind of weather Nice ambience, good seating on the road We ordered: Fish tacos - very good, best in Connecticut, don’t know how some people gave reviews that it’s all batter and mandarin oranges are old but it was all excellent for us… Chicken adobo tacos- again excellent Caipirinha- this is where I would give them extra credit.. I love caipirinha and the first drink she brought was weird in taste, felt like too much salt.. something wasn’t right. But I didn’t even tell the staff and few minutes later she brought me another one. Not only that tasted so good but I was bowled over by how they understood the drink wasn’t good. Mojito - excellent Superb staff, superb experience, very good tacos… all in all the best place in downtown Hartford for dinner and drinks Completely unexpected great experience.. everywhere staff is opposite, if you tell them something doesn’t seem right they look at you as if you did something wrong so I even stopped telling if a food isn’t good. But here it’s opposite. Thanks for your service

All I have to say is LaTonya saved this place for me. She was one of the best servers I’ve had in a long time. I was sat by the bartender who never told her I was sat. She was just making her rounds and saw me. She was super friendly without that awful table voice and paid just enough attention to me. She wasn’t overbearing and when she did visit with me she was just the right amount of everything. I ordered a margarita the Harvester I think it was. Super sour and not enjoyable. I ordered another one just to see if it was a premixed margarita and....... it tasted exactly the same. I got the street tacos that were supposed to have cheese on them but didn’t see any cheese as well as the fish tacos which were supposed to have avocado sauce on them. I had to take a sip of water after every bite because it was crazy dry. The street tacos weren’t very flavorful but had more moisture to them so they were more enjoyable. Not great but good. I get it, it’s a tough time, staff is at half what is once was and well as your guests but I think the vid has worn out it’s excuse for poor staffing. I made a point to let my server know she saved the day with how great she was. I hope they keep her around because she was fantastic. I won’t be back but at least she’s going to save the day for someone else.

I came here with some friends on a Friday after work for a good happy hour. I found parking right out front and paid at the meter. There was plenty of seating at the bar as well as the high top tables. Our waitress was attentive and very friendly. She also made my mojito less sweet than normal per my request, and I really appreciated it! The happy hour specials were pretty good with $3 for some beers as well as $4 for wines and sangria. They also had $5 cocktails such as mojitos and margaritas. The food options were good where you could get two tacos for $5. They're also $5 side such as street corn. Overall a pretty solid happy hour spot and I'd recommend a visit especially if you already work in downtown.

Delicious food. We came on weekday lunch and not too many people. Ordered enchiladas and agave tacos. Both came with rice and beans. Portions are huge and served with salsa. They served tortilla chips as a welcome snack. We had beef and pork and the meat was so tender and juicy. Everything was well seasoned. Service was great and very friendly.

Found a good place in Hartford for Mexican food. Restaurant ambience was great. As soon as I took a place , compliments were ready. Then immediately the ordered food arrived. Food was very tasty. I recommend this restaurant.
