Staff was nice and friendly. We had some confusion with how many people were going to be in our party and they were flexible and were willing to work with us. The food was wonderful. The salsa was delicious. The margarita selection was amazing. Their jalapeno infused tequila made for a tasty and unique margarita. The atmosphere was extremely cute and festive! Definitely will go again.

Decent for the great metropolis that is Essex Junction. It could have been better, but the tacos were not bad, the margarita strong enough, and the service, serviceable. Only been there a few times and it's never Wow'ed me, but not having to drive into Burlington is worth a bunch when I'm not feeling it. Whenever Mad Tacos open in Essex CTR... These guys are gonna have to step up their game, or close up shop.

Excellent! Friendly staff and fresh Mexican food! I love the shrimp and spinach quesadilla! My boyfriend also enjoys the food including the chips and fresh salsa! Highly recommend!!!!

Unfortunately I hate someone sounding negative and can always find something positive to say about everything. The good... the bartender had a great attitude and made a great drink. The rest of the experience was horrible. It started with the hostess literally angered that we tried to make a reservation for 9. We were told they would not allow for a reservation but were told if we still wanted to come they would seat us... so we decided to try it. Big mistake... after at least 45 minutes and watching multiple empty tables we had to actually help the hostess figure out how to seat us. But the night only got completely worse... we ordered and waited for an hour to get our cold dinners and only after we spoke to the waitress who was sitting at the next table visiting her two friends. To ad insult to injury even though the waitress acknowledged the whole evening was not acceptable the management felt no need to apologize, offer a discount until we asked. When talking to other locals both at the establishment and neighbors it is obvious that the restaurant management and staff have taken a turn for the worst. Very unfortunate but and hope the can turn it around for there sake.

Painfully slow service. Had to wait with my party at a podium for 30 minutes(no exaggeration) to get seated. No waitresses available for lunch. Bartender was running the entire restaurant and possibly cooking the food, too. Cocktails were ok I guess. Ordered steak tacos. Barely any steak at all in them and was disappointed because they were pricey. Taste wasn't bad just mediocre and skimpy portion. Asked for guacamole as a side and received a portion smaller than a quarter of a Dixie cup. Was starved after finishing my wimpy tacos, so I grabbed a burger and fries to go On Tap after we left. Probably won't be back.
