   I've been wanting to try this place out for a few weeks now.

   Finally got my chance. Walked in. The big windows mean plenty of light. Very spacious, open layout. Decor is modern and clean.

   Man oh man. I looked at the prices. Shaking my head. At $5 or $6 a pop, I guess I'm getting only 2 tacos. I started to want to hate the place.

   20 minutes later, I'm starting to wonder why it takes so long to prepare fish tacos. If anything, fish takes the least amount of time to cook. And anything that can be put into a taco shouldn't take more than 3 minutes to begin with.

   Soon after I realize 20 minutes have gone by, I was given chips and a thimble of salsa. I have to admit, the chips were legit. Too bad I didn't get enough salsa to determine if the salsa was good. It was so bad, I actually had to use one chip to reach into the thimble and scoop out the bits of salsa onto another chip that I had strategically laid out underneath. One time, I had actually missed and was really sad that I had lost out on the precious salsa. It was very pathetic.

   As I was crying over the spilled salsa, the tacos were finally brought out. They were nice and big, but at first glance I didn't see much meat. I'm starting to actually get excited at the thought of crossing a place completely off my list.

   I take a bite into the blackened fish taco. More meat than I had expected. Great flavor, very well balanced. And by well balanced, I mean it was nice and spicy.

   Time for the spicy shrimp taco. Again. Great flavor, very well balanced, spicy. Ingredients are fresh. No complaints about the actual food.

   Overall, if you're looking for a great value, this is definitely not the place with $5-6 tacos and nachos for $14-16 if you want meat. If you're looking for a clean atmosphere, fresh food and a good variety of tacos (they also have mahi and buffalo shrimp tempura), then this is the place. Bring a bottle, and you're set.

   They really do need to speed up service though. 25 minutes is unacceptable for fish tacos.

   There are only two reasons I'm not giving them five stars: The lack of organization, which I'm sure will improve being that they've only been open four months, and the NOISE! Of course the latter isn't their fault. There are only about a dozen tables but my God! I'm talking loud like a live band in the corner! I could tell it was bothering a few others as well. Not fun when you have to yell at the person across from you. Fortunately it was mostly one table of four who were hitting the wine a little too hard. As soon as their food came and they started shoving it in the holes under their noses, it quited down considerably.
   There was only a single waitress, Abby, taking care of all the tables including two outside. She had help but was doing the bulk of the running around. She did a great job too!
   The food: Started with the nacho platter. Fresh, crispy chips with plenty of toppings. Guacamole, sour cream, black beans, cheese, etc. You can add steak, chicken, or shrimp for like $7 more but I forgot. I had the blackened fish soft taco and the Buffalo Tempura  Shrimp. The blackened fish was very good but the Buffalo Tempura Shrimp was epic! Next time I'll get two of those! Nothing was greasy either or overloaded with cheese.
   Presentation of everything was beautifully done! (See my pics) Kudos to the kitchen staff!
   For a Wednesday it was packed and we had to wait about 25 minutes for a table. Not a big deal. Just surprising for a Wednesday night. I'm assuming it's because it's new and there is a buzz from the great reviews.
   I saw a lot of people picking up takeout and might try that.
   I would recommend going for an early or a late dinner right now. At the peak  (6-7PM) It's just too crowded and loud.
