Great place to get soup, they have a black bean soup that rocks - make sure you add avocados. very nice employees and great service.
their chicken tostada is also very delicious.
I came through Mill Valley once some months back and got a to-go order of chicken tortilla soup that was pretty tasty. I went back last night with the boyfriend for a sit-in meal this time, and found it decent, but lackluster. We ordered the very tasty nachos with monterey jack (although the Texas-native boyfriend originally wanted queso dip), which was great.
Boyfriend had the sloppy jose, which wasn't very sloppy and which he thought was tasty, but not as heavy on sauce as he expected. I had the carnitas tacos which were also pretty good, although I had tried to ask the waiter if their tacos were street-style and he really wasn't able to tell me-- I might have ordered something different if I had known (like the soup).
Still and all, a decent meal, but nothing special food-wise. In terms of ambience, it's mildly noisy, brightly-colored, and very casual, so if that's the mood you're in, the locale's decent.
But it can be pretty tough to park-- almost all the spots nearby are reserved for Whole Foods.
Mmmm fish tacos!
Joe's is bright and cheerful, with bottles of hot sauce and kitschy paintings of Mexican scenes decorating the walls. The food is sort of a combination of chippy and taqueria - the fish tacos come with a tartar-sauce-esque mayo, which lends them a unique deliciousness.
The service is also awesome and so chill. Sofia, the girl who served us at the counter, was so cute and friendly.
I will definitely be back next time I want late night (for Marin) tacos.

My Boyfriend and I live so close we decided that we wanted to try the infamous Joe's Taco Lounge. Being Mexicans, we realized right off the bat this was very very American-Mexican food. Cute decorations... that's about it, we were surprised to find Bufalo hot sauce, our favorite.
Any restaurant that charges money for chips and salsa must not have great food if they feel like they need to make ends meet by charging for something every restaurant gives out for free.
Its like in France where the bread and butter on the table is charged on your bill if you touch it!
Joe's Taco lounge is a joke and I would never spend my money there again, okay food with pretty hefty prices, for TACOS?! they should be cheap!
No recommendation from me.
I really wanted to like this place after hearing good things about it from other locals, and the decor was promising (cute little place with lots of color, fun barstools around the center bar, hot sauce lined up along the walls).
Unfortunately, the food was disgusting. I ordered the daily special - which turned out to be the nasty chicken they were probably just trying to get rid of. They served it to me still raw in the middle, and I sent it back to be cooked some more. When it came back, it looked good and I was so excited to try it, but most of it was FAT. EEEEEW. The rice and beans were flavorless, and the guacamole also needed salt and spice.
I am starting to realize Marinites are pretty easily impressed with anything that is overpriced and lacks authenticity - and that explains why this place is popular. I hate to sound like a craggy customer, but ICK - I will never eat here again. My husband is a fine dining chef who LOVES Mexican or any spicy, fun, comfort food and he ate less than half of his food... trust me, that never happens.
Again, ICK!

This is a great place to go after hiking. Awesome fish tacos! The agave margaritas are decent, too. It's fun to get a pitcher and just hang out.
Very nice stuffed jalapeno, if you are into that kind of stuff and I am!
Nice chill atmosphere to hang out.
Awful. I made the mistake of eating here as my birthday lunch. I felt ripped-off and disappointed.
The only thing other than soup and salad and nachos that was vegetarian and under $14 was their "Market Vegetable" line... tacos, burritos, etc.
It was just sad, getting a taco seriously with 1/4 inch of standing water on the plate, no cheese, lots of iceberg lettuce. I sent that back, totally out of character but I had to! I couldn't eat it, and got their "nachos". I have been all over Mexico from the north down to Oaxaca, and have never seen this dreck! Just plain, poorly melted white cheese, and the most bland "salsa" I have ever had in my life. Chevy's is better, god, that's pathetic.
Stay away from here if you're a vegetarian! Go across the street to Mama's. I felt like I got hit in the mouth with blandness and my wallet pilfered. I wish I had eaten at taco bell. At least they wouldn't have charged 25 bucks for 1 plain cheese corn quesadilla, 1 plate of sad nachos, 1 diet coke, and 1 small side of sour cream and guacamole. If this place were south of the bridge, they would be out of business, only being able to survive in a place with nothing to compare it to.
That being said, our waitress was nice which prevented us from walking out. We seriously stayed because we didn't want to be rude to her. She tried really hard and even she said that the Market Vegetable tacos were not the best thing on the menu. She had one recommendation for vegetarians, but it was for a huge plate that cost 15 dollars, in retrospect maybe I should have gone that way. I felt like she was embarrassed, I certainly was for the restaurant.
Also embarrassing too because my wife had a few good experiences here a few years ago. What happened??? Easily the worst experience I've had all year, and that's all across the country from 4 stars to fast food.
My Girlfriend Connie C. and myself were strolling around the beautiful city nestled below the beautiful Mount Tamalpais! This place is fun and tacolish..... I recommend the fish tacos, and snapper burrito! The atmosphere is a lively as well as colorful! The place kinda reminds me of a 50 style diner! While you visiting get some chips and salsa for a little variety! Well... my friendly Marin yelpers I'll be talking to you soon!!

Joe's got it right with dem grilled fish tacos.
it really is a lounge - for it's laid back service and quirky decor.
and it really is salsa - because everything in there is super festive, including their delish salsa! (i personally liked that their salsa was dry, instead of dripping with from-the-can tomato juice)
and most of all, joe knows his tacos - because everything else just wasn't as thoughtful or delicious. stick with the fish tacos and you can't go wrong. juicy. tender. oozing with special secret sauce. and above all, FRESH!!
beat the dinner crowd and show up before 7pm for a seat at the bar or snag a table for two outside.
Take your dog to tacos!! Sure, pups love the multi-culti smells of the Mission better, but they're usually not welcome inside even the dive-iest joints. It's different in Marin, where FiFi is welcome even where it's chi-chi. Thanks to Joe's Taco Lounge, you don't have to choose--they've been around forever and I was happy to visit them again last week after eight years of living on the peninsula.
Joe's combines the Mission's funky charm with Marin's outdoor lifestyle...you can eat inside, outside, or on the bench by the doggie dish filled with water. The stuffed burritos will rock your world without breaking your bank. Just like the Mission cousins, they're jam packed with succulent meats, stringy cheese, and are usually good for two meals. Or, if you're with your dog, make that a meal for two.
So this review was really hard for me to write, because I wanted to seriously write the best review ever. Picture this: we're back from Bora Bora for our honeymoon where all we did was eat, swim and lay out - and now it's time to see everything in SF possible before I leave for Obama's house. So I drag my poor husband to Muir beach to go hiking in the cold - he was not so thrilled. How do I reward such a trooper?
With a trip to Joe's Taco Lounge.
I actually got the recommendation for this place from Rachel Ray's Tasty Travels (I know, her boobs are like eggs, but she's got some good picks!) and we even ordered what she suggested.
1) Corn bread stuffed chile relleno - why the hell would you ever eat anything else? A succulent pepper stuff with homemade corn bread with jalapeno and Monterey jack cheese. Pepper is then grilled and placed on a bed of tomatillo sauce, topped with red pepper sauce. It's so good, we fought over the last bites.
That's until the tofu tostada came out...
2) Tofu Tostada - layers, beans, cripsy tortilla, COLE SLAW!, bbq tofu, pico de gallo and avocado. Now, I cannot understand why such simple ingredients would taste so good, but it did! I can still literally taste this in my mouth.
I so wish there was a Joe's Taco Lounge here and everywhere.
Please see pics - food was so good I took pictures...

What a treat to find such a fun, funky and friendly Mexican joint in Marin. Indoor and outside seating. Order the hotter salsa if you like some fire. The regular house salsa is fresh but bland for my taste, but was others at my table prefer less heat. They do charge for them but the quality was there. The guacamole was exceptional, butter Haas avocados freshly smashed.
The place isn't big. Our table for six was cozy.
They only serve wine and beer. But they came up with this wine based margarita wish was really tasty and refreshing.
The cornbread stuffed roasted chili is outstanding. Around our table the fish tacos and crab meat dishes were a hit.
We will definitely be back next year.
Joes Tacos is a place where peopel go when they want some good tacos, everything else is okay. When you first walk in you are surprised to see hot sauce bottles all over the dining area. When you sit down you are greeted by a sometimes pleasant waiter i would recomend the carnitas, or the burger yes i did say the burger and it is at a mexican restaraunt. The fries and burger arte great thats about it. I would say if your in the mood for a cheap taco and a beer this is a good place, my parents make me go hear but when i turn 18 i can't say i will be drawn back.
I'd have to say that Joe's is just OK. I like that it's open relatively late - for Mill Valley that is - and the sangria is fine. I was disappointed they don't serve margaritas, charge for chips and salsa and the service we've experienced has been horrible! It's very loud inside but I suppose that's part of the charm. In terms of food - they serve below average spice-less gringo burritos, the fish tacos are fine and the corn cake is actually kinda gross. I'd say go across the road to Grilly's or better yet head to the Mission in SF!
Back to try the fish tacos and was not disappointed in the least! Sat at the counter since it was just moi. Great place to people watch, but being a bit short, once seated, the reach to my plate was a bit of a stretch.
One order of Ensenada fish tacos brings 2 good sized fish tacos to one's place. It comes with fresh salsa, grated cabbage, not out of the plastic bag kind, I can always tell. Again the habanero mayonnaise did it justice. The fish pieces were nicely fried, not oily and good sized 3-4 inch long pieces. One order was PLENTY for me! AND it was under $7.00!
I'll be back :)

It's been a while since I ate at Joe's - which is surprising, since the times I stopped in here, I've enjoyed the food. So much so, I even bought a t-shirt from there. So while on an excursion to REI, I popped in for yet another burrito lunchfest. And I've got three words for you.
Mahi-mahi burrito.
Okay, that's technically two and a half words. I'm not sure how hyphenated words count these days. But that's not the point - the point is a very tasty burrito, which is made all the better by snagging one of the many hot sauce options to go along with it.
Okay, it's not "authentic" - it's definitely a gringorito, but it was still tasty and filling. A little pricey, but that's to be expected in Mill Valley. The dining room itself was pretty loud and infested with douchey rich kids from Tam High - but again, kinda to be expected in Mill Valley. Service was a bit slow, as the waitress behind the bar seemed more interested in hanging out with her friends than working - don't get me wrong, she was friendly and nice, just not very efficient.
All in all, it's a decent burrito spot that suffers a little from it's location. If you're snagging to go, I'd give it four stars, but for eating in it slides to three.
People thought this was:
The perfect meal after a drizzly hike in Muir Woods: the Snapper Tostada with guacamole and a coffee. The pile of protein (black beans and fish) with salsa negra and cabbage completely satisfied my raging post-hike hunger, and the hot coffee warmed my core.
And, from the large selection of hot sauces lining the interior wall (conveniently located above each table), I discovered a new favorite hot sauce: Melinda's Garlic Habanero Pepper Sauce. I really appreciated the large array of hot sauces. I usually expect Mexican food restaurants to offer just the basics, Cholula and Tapatio and maybe some type of chipotle, and the variety was a pleasant surprise.
I would definitely come back after our next Sunday Funday hike.
People thought this was:
Hiking up Mt. Tam worked up an appetite, so we decided to grab a bite to eat at Joe's. We were told the grilled snapper tacos were their specialty, so we got those and a grilled snapper burrito. I had the burrito, and it totally hit the spot. The fish was nice and flaky, and the burrito was big enough to last for two meals.
The wall is lined with every type of salsa you can imagine (I don't think I've ever been to another salsaria before), but you should really ask for some of the fresh salsas they have in the kitchen. Our server brought out two hot salsas, one of which was the coral snake sauce, this orange sauce that was muy caliente!
Joe's also serves up pizzas and burgers, which seem decent, but I'd stick to the grilled fish tacos or burrito. They're famous for a reason!
People thought this was:
Hadn't been to this place in years, but was in town and decided to give it a try, hopeful that one of the pickiest burrito connoisseurs I've ever met would find it acceptable. It's not that he's picky, probably just spoiled from having lived in the Mission. Close proximity to Papalote would probably spoil anyone. But anyway, if you're a purist, then the Taco Lounge probably isn't for you.
But if you find yourself in Mill Valley looking for somewhat quick food on a Sunday evening, then definitely stop by. The tortilla chips are fresh (though they do cost extra) and they offer a dizzying array of salsa, so they have that going for them. I got the carne asada tostada salad, which was more mountainous than a salad should be (and they don't skimp on the meat, to say the least). It was definitely more meat than salad.
As for the burrito...boyfriend only ate about three quarters of it, which I've actually never seen happen, so I can only guess it didn't pass the test. Apparently it had poor distribution of ingredients so the steak was at the end of the burrito, the beans in the middle and the cheese toward the top as the first thing he bit into. Oh well, can't please everyone. I can vouch for my tostada, though. Very tasty.
But anyway...they have quite an extensive menu here, even offering pizzas and sandwiches. So anyone can find something that will make them happy. I can see why this is the default dinner destination in Mill Valley.
People thought this was:
Despite the bad service, cockroach on the wall, and noise I actually like this place. The food is good, lots of vegetarian options, and the price is fair. On two separate occasions we showed up after closing time and they still sat us. A good choice if you hungry and want something casual and tasty.
OMG - I can't believe anyone has given this taco bar LESS tan 5 stars! Of all the quickie Mexican/taco places for take-out, this is the very best! When we first discovered it I think we ate it 5 days in a row, it was sooo good! (and we've had take out from Joe's at least 2 dozen times since)
The enchiladas, corn cakes with black salsa, and kids "make your own" tostadas/tacos are absolute favorites. They even have real guacamole with chunks and don't add sour cream to stretch it like some quickie places. Yum!
If you're comparing this place to fancy sit-down type Mexican restaurants, then I could see maybe giving it less than 5 stars, as it is quite tiny and doesn't have great ambiance. However this is a taco bar - a quickie Mexican food place, NOT a fancy sit-down type place.
We always get Joe's to go and compared to any of the other quickie & to-go type places, this place can't be beat!
People thought this was:
I love spicy, authentic Mexican. I just moved to the San Rafael area and asking around, I ended up here because of raves about how good and spicy the food is. Sadly, I found it to be lacking in both good and spicy. The chips and salsa - at $2 (wtf?) - sucked. Chips were kind of stale and the salsa had absolutely NO flavor. The (incredibly greasy) chicken tacos were also incredibly bland, as was the carne asada tacos. All of my spicy (and flavor) came from a bottle on the table. That's seriously just not right.
I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.
People thought this was:
Fire grilled corn on the cob and some amazing sauce they serve in a squeeze bottle! :)
I get the shrimp tacos with extra sauce. YUM!!!
And for those of you who remember what life was like when you didn't have any responsibilities (and you could risk a quick trip to the ER), they have the most amazing hot sauce collection I've ever seen since my days at Netcentives. Go ahead, ask them to try the hottest one they've got.
People thought this was:
White people making "Mexican" food. Call me superficial, but like the town, Joe's Taco Lounge lacks in authenticity and diversity.
Diarrhea. I only had it once from eating here. Yes, I had the fish tacos.
Beers. I occasionally enjoy sitting at the wrap around counter while stuffing my face with chips. No salsa, it seems rather fuzzy and fermented.
Aging orange and red salsa bottles line the inside perimeter of this restaurant. Ironman triathletes strut their shaven calf muscles, business people who've just stepped off the #4 bus and families with golden-haired children are usually the ones sighted through the windows of this small restaurant with no liquor license.
I find the fare here tiresome and the fish overly fishy to the point that it smells like green bathroom cleaner.
People thought this was:
Nice pit stop after a wind swept hike on Mt. Tam. Had a craving for Joe's famous fish tacos, which they have an option of 2 to choose from ~ marinated grilled, and fried.
Walking in, I was delighted by the festive ambiance and the line up of hot sauce along the wall. Was great to pull a few off the shelf to try with my tacos and chips-salsa-guac.
Service friendly and with a smile.
People thought this was:
If i could give this place a MILLION stars, i would. I love this place. Just crossing the bridge makes me salivate for Joes.
This is what you order:
Chips and Guac. Then get the Chipotle Hot Sauce and mix it in the guacamole.
A Negro Modelo -- which they, without hesitation give you a decent sized lime and glass. THANK YOU.
Tofu Tostada (or Snapper Tostada). The you eat it.... and you love it... and you enjoy it... and you are happy and full.
You can also order the Prawn Tacos. Hell, order anything.
I love this place. Maybe I'm biased because I always go after riding, and I might be a little hypoglycemic and salt deprived, but I'm pretty sure I would marry this place if it were a man.
And be nice to my favorite bus boy -- he only works on the weekends.
People thought this was:
Okay... I cannot believe that anyone would give this place more than 2 stars.
Obviously it's a local taco place for parents to bring their grommets.
I used to work for Room Service, the restaurant delivery place, and we delivered from this restaurant; as well as 40 other restaurants in Marin.
Outside of Max's in Corte Madera, these people were the WORST.
They are busy all the time... I get that.. but they couldn't handle the pressure... screwed up orders all the time.. and had an UNBEARABLY bad attitude. I FREAKING HATED them. Switched orders... forgot stuff all the time. COULDN'T HANDLE!!!
The food? I've eaten it. Totally unremarkable. The notion that anyone would hop over from The City to eat here is laughable.
I'm sure that sometimes a taco... or a burger... or whatever is made tasty... it's not like we're at some place in Antioch.... but there's a reason it's packed with kids.
GO ELSEWHERE... seriously. Grillys is good. Try the place over by India Village in San Rafael... back in the Harbour center (TKO... The Faultline!!!!)
I think it's called Azteca Cafe... or go to Taq. San Jose under the freeway on 4th in San Rafael.
UNLESS... your name is Miriam... and your kids: Connor, Aiden, and Persephone need a bland chicken taco.
People thought this was:
This place hits the spot when I'm head'n norte. Always good, but it doesn't get 5 stars for a couple of reasons: 1) Service is good not great 2) The place is a little small 3) the food is really good, not really great. 4) Aguas Frescas seem to be missing. Now that I've said my peace, here are the Deets: Get the fish or crab tacos, beacuse you can, and they're good. My lady gets the taquitos every-time because she's addicted to fried food however she hasn't complained yet...and if anyone knows her, that's saying alot. The place is very clean and there is a plethora of taco sauces lining the walls. It's good if you live in Marin and you don't have an arsenal of choices like those of us in the city but hay not everyone can be liv'n large in the mission right.
People thought this was:
This place epitomizes "quirky"--bright colors, funky knick-knacks, and that massive bar in the middle. I really dig it. It's very warm and welcoming, as are the servers.
As others have mentioned, Joe's can get packed, but there's quick turnover, thanks to the speedy service. And there are benches where you can wait outside. Or you could just take it to go and enjoy the beautiful Marin weather. It seems like it's always sunny and warm here!
This is my favorite place to stop on the way to or from somewhere-- Muir Woods, Muir Beach, Stinson Beach, Mt. Tam, etc. The food is filling and fresh, but not heavy or too greasy. Just right.
Dishes I've really liked in the past include the plantains and the fish tacos.
People thought this was:
Joe's is pretty much insane.
Joe's has been a staple in my life for a long time. I have known Joe (who passed away in 2003) since I was a toddler, he and his family are very close to mine. As such I have been coming to Joe's for a long time, and I even worked there for 2 years back in the late 90s.
Thus, I have watched it change over the years, but at the same time, so much has not changed. Joe's consistently serves up great Mexican food, with a traditional bent. Joe was a consummate lover of good food and in our travels to Mexico he was always looking for the right taco, the right salsa, the right style of carnitas. When he thought he found it all he brought it all home to Mill Valley where it became an instant hit.
All of the salsas are home made (there are hundreds of bottles of commercial salsas in a ring around the restaurant, to be used by all, but all the salsas that are served by the kitchen are fresh). The pizza dough (yes, Joe's has pizza was serious south-of-the-border bent) is homemade with a wonderful corn meal crust.
The decor itself is like walking into the living room of a Mexican Elvis, or any luchador who has hit the big time. Joe's wife has a done an incredible job decorating the place, and its very shiny and captivating. With such classic icons as a Virgin of Guadalupe and velvet paintings of bull fighters, you know you are in the Mexican Mecca.
Ok, lets get to the food. The specialty of the house are the Ensenada Fish Tacos. These are strips of snapper that are breaded and then fried to a crisp. Served with a spicy aioli, fresh salsa negra and lettuce on a corn tortilla - amen. Joe's features a grilled snapper fish taco, a healthier alternative to the fried version, and it is very good. But if you are at Joe's, then throw it all out the window and go Ensenada.
One of my favorite dishes the is Tofu Tostada. The tofu is decidedly NOT authentic to the Mexican idea, but Joe's still pulls it off. Think friend, crispy Tofu served on a tostada with shredded cabbage, salsa, guacamole, cilantro, oh boy very divine - and maybe one of the healthiest items on the menu.
Joe's can get packed, but the service is very fast so turnover is quick.
As a whole, you cannot go wrong with Joe's. It is a true Mexican experience.
People thought this was:
Food = mediocre. It was edible but very boring, especially for Mexican food!
Service = mediocre, friendly but barely able to take the orders or refill the drinks.
Decor = bright with many, many Virgin Mary statues.
Yeah...I'm not sure I hate it, but can't like it either.
People thought this was:
I consider myself a stickler when it comes to tacos. I love em! I love tacos traditionaly, messy, spicy, sweet, anyway!
I was referred to Joe's Taco Lounge by a friend who also has a sharing love of tacos. I went there on my lunch break one day and found the little gem tucked away in downtown area of Mill Valley. My first thought was as to what I wanted to sample. I chose my fall back favorite or two carnitas tacos and continued to munch on chips and salsa and took a look around the lovely and eclectic variety of decor.
My tacos came and I was happy, but somewhat dissapointed...a little small and not so flavorful. It might have been my choice of what I wanted to try, but not my favorite.
I have a plan to return soon, but would definately choose something other than what was before.
Be sure to grab one of the many hot sauces around the room! There are plenty!!
I do really like that this spot exists here because I am sort of surprised, though not as surprised to see the nearby 2AM club which might be the seediest looking bar I've ever seen. I enjoyed 2 fish tacos. The fish was good quality, fried, and the condiments were tasty. Seemed like a good menu and I'll try some other items another time when I'm in the area. I didn't care for the charging for chips and salsa, which lowered a star for me. Prices seemed fair otherwise. I was really hungry and it did fill me up fine.
Joe's Taco Lounge is where customer service comes to die. For a place that looks as cute, fun and kitchy as Joe's, it was surprising to discover that the employees were almost completely bereft of any charm whatsoever.
The tacos were alright, but not really worth the lame atmosphere; we went at 5:30 pm on a Monday, which evidently is feeding time for the children of Mill Valley. We were practically the only table without two kids under the age of six. Maybe its our fault for going at this time and we should try again - at least I hope thats the case.
(yes, I find an overabundance of small children and their oblivious parents to be deleterious to my dining experience sometimes. In this case, definitely.)
BUT! get this ...
No liquor license = no margaritas. My ears burst into flames when our server delivered this abysmal news. The embers of my earflames burned bright when he offered me a margarita made with wine!
And!
They charge for chips and salsa. Wasn't the term "WTF" invented for places that charge for chips? I thought so.
People thought this was:
Went to Joes Taco after a nice long hike to Alamere Falls in April. We were seated next to a table of about 7 kids. Parents were on the other side of the room...hmmmm, I wonder why? Well, the kids were pretty "hyper" and my boyfriend had to keep asking one of the kids to stop hitting his chair and getting in his space. It was a loud bunch.
Regarding the food, the salsa was a bit "oniony", my fish tacos were good and my boyfriend's burrito was a little dry. It needed some salsa, guacamole and sour cream. Probably these items should have been asked for, prior to biting into the burrito that was already made.
This is a pretty casual place, good to go after a nice hike. If you are looking for peace and quiet, probably not the best place to go.
People thought this was:
Really cool place. I walked by in the morning and just knew that I had to come back here for lunch. This place looks like something that would be featured on the Food Network. I'm not a fish person, but I devoured that snapper burrito. Check this place out!

We went for our annual spring hike in Marin and wanted to check out a local spot. We had a nice lunch but nothing to sway me from my favorite Mission haunts. The decor is adorable and the service was fast and efficient, but really pushing those $2 chips & salsa, which seems unnecessary. We ordered a blackened fish sandwich and the grilled fish tacos, which were essentially the same fish in a different wrapper. The tacos lacked the chili mayo which was on the menu and the cabbage slaw seemed to have no dressing at all--basically a very dry fish taco. It was definitely helped by one of the salsas on the wall. The sandwich on the other hand was slippery with condiments but not that great. The total for our entrees and two beers and tip was $34, which is pretty much double what an excellent meal in the Mission would have cost: you do the math.
I've increased my rating of Joe's to three stars because when I ate there again, the tortilla soup was pretty darn good and the carnitas tacos, albeit a little saucy, were quite tasty. Still wouldn't go here on my own accord, but wouldn't refuse to eat here either. Still LOVE the decor, it's so groovy.
