What People Say

Reviews highlight the smoked brisket tacos and wood-fired meats as must-tries, with many calling the flavors “authentic” and “bold.” The mezcal cocktails and house-made tortillas also get rave reviews.

Areas for Improvement

The restaurant can get busy on weekends and peak concert nights, so expect a bit of a wait if you don’t have a reservation. Parking in Germantown can also be a bit tight, so rideshare is a smart move. A few diners noted that noise levels rise as the night goes on, but it’s all part of the lively atmosphere.
