The Al Pastor tacos and the chips & guacamole were both superb, and similar quality to what I have eaten in Mexico. The service was outstanding! They brought a complimentary extra plate of chips and salsa for my friend who has a citrus allergy and couldn't share my guacamole appetizer. I highly recommend this restaurant!

Incredible Tacos, Margaritas, and Service! I honestly don’t understand the negative reviews—my experience at Ay Caramba was fantastic from start to finish! I came in for the taco and margarita 2-for-1 special and was blown away by both the flavor and the value. The tacos were fresh, perfectly seasoned, and generously filled, and the margaritas were strong and delicious—definitely not watered down like some places. What made it even better was the service. Maria B and Jose took such great care of us—friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. They made sure everything was perfect and added a warm, personal touch to the whole experience. If you’re hesitant because of the reviews, don’t be. Give Ay Caramba a try—you won’t regret it! I’m already planning my next visit.

Let's be honest right off the top. We only wandered in because it was Taco Tuesday and they had a '2 for 1' tacos and margaritas night. We sat at the bar and soaked up the chill atmosphere and great music, and ordered a couple margaritas. I was disappointed they weren't doing 2 for 1 tacos, but that quickly turned to delight when I found out they were doing a deal on NINE tacos instead! Oh, man, was I happy with that choice. The tacos were incredible. There were 3 different flavors of taco with three different sauces. I loved all of them. I may have been ruined on future tacos. It is both sad and glorious.
