The fish tacos are the savory standout -- fresh, not the frozen-and-fried version too many taco spots default to -- and the kitchen's "gourmet twist" framing actually earns itself here rather than functioning as marketing language. The creme brulee at the end is the specific reason this became a full-meal destination rather than just a taco stop people hit on the way somewhere else.
One real quirk worth knowing: delivery orders don't automatically include chips and salsa, so ask for them specifically if you're ordering in rather than assuming they'll show up. Hours are limited -- closed Sunday and Monday, and only open noon-9pm on the Tuesday it does run -- so this isn't a spontaneous drop-in spot.
