Review of Taco
The asada taco (or steak) is fine. The place sort of wants to be mexican food with a creative chef. The asada taco was nothing special. The cloud 9 was very good, but not in a traditional taco way. More of in a fun way.

When would I Go Back?
I’d go back if I was feeling adventurous and wanted to try some different takes on mexican food. There are probably some hidden gems in the menu, but the staple of a good carne asada taco is not to be found. Easy parking.
