Planning Your Evening

Before the Show

Running short on time? Our tacos are made fresh and served fast. Grab a margarita, share some queso, and still make curtain call. We recommend arriving about an hour and a Half before showtime for a relaxed meal, or an hour if you're keeping it quick.

Can't-miss starters: House-made queso, brussels sprout tacos, fresh guacamole.

After the Show

We stay open late. Swing by for cocktails, a few tacos, or a full meal — no rush. The vibe is relaxed, the music is good, and you don't need a reservation (though it never hurts on busy nights).

Perfect for post-show: Margarita flight, tequila selection, shareable taco platters.
