    The Guacamole is excellent and a must have when you come here.The smoked pork belly taco is awesome. That tuna ceviche is not bad but would not have it a 2nd time.Nice patio to sit outside.

    Stop here if you're going from Memphis to NOLA-or just happen to be in the area. Great food, great service! Ryan and Candy helped us get an amazing hotel in NOLA for cheap. Get a Pom-Rita!

    Great food and atmosphere. Order a few tacos, tapas, and sides and share with the table. Small plates make a great, light lunch.

    Sides to share are the best value on the menu. Notorious PINK margarita was delightful. Great prices for all the tapas we got. Full belly!

    Had great service from Ruth! Very pleasant and professional. You can tell she loves the restaurant and wants others to love it as much as she does. Babalu's got it going on!

    Dropped by from out of town and went on the recommendation of the Baba Burger and Guacamole. I was not disappointed at all. The small burger was sized perfectly.

    I'm vegetarian, and they don't have lots of good stuff for me. But the tamarind margarita and fresh guacamole were awesome.

    Redfish tacos and duck tacos are excellent. $2 tacos and $1 off beers during happy hour (4-6 pm)

    Enchiladas of the day are always a good bet. The chicken is my favorite. Make sure to enjoy a babarita. Best drink in town.

    I had the most expensive draft beer on my trip: nearly $8. Tacos were good, but nothing that blew me away. Still, it's a cool place with excellent service.
