Honestly I'd been here once before and wasn't really impressed but I gave it another try since I was taking my kid to a concert at The Rust Belt. Definitely glad we tried again because the food was amazing this time. It was a bit longer of a wait than I'm used to but they were very busy and didnt have a ton of waitstaff. Our server was really friendly and ill definitely go back to try some of the other options.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

We ordered the Rock Island Line and the Happy Fresca tacos, with a side of twisted corn and sweet potatoes, to go. While we waited, we tried one of the large selection of tequilas available. Staff was very friendly, and our food was ready quickly. The tacos were well worth the price, which we thought was quite reasonable. Our favorite were the Happy Fresca. We liked the corn and sweet potatoes as well. And the tequila we sipped while waiting was fantastic. We can’t wait to come back and try more of the menu!

This is a really cool, chill place. In addition to the great chips and salsa/queso/guac, the tacos are delicious. I had steak and shrimp tacos and they're full of flavor. They server was very attentive and our orders came quick. For aesthetics, they have beautiful murals on the walls. On the way to the restrooms, there are pinball machines to enjoy and awesome banners above them. This is a fantastic eatery for street tacos (haven't tried the desserts, although they sound delectable!) near the Mississippi River. If you're a local or just in town temporarily, check out Jennie's.
