Gift Tips

  • Try the tacos first, especially the carnitas, pollo verde, al pastor, or barbacoa if you want a classic start.
  • Order chips with salsa and guacamole as a dependable add-on, since the house-made chips and salsa bar are a strong part of the experience.
  • Ask about the tamale plate or Bryan’s Bowl for a filling option beyond tacos.
  • If the weather is nice, grab a seat on the patio or in the heated outdoor area for a more relaxed visit.
  • Order the ceviche or tamale plate if you want something beyond tacos and tortillas.
  • Save room for a margarita, horchata, or agua fresca to pair with the meal.
