Okay this place is KILLER for tacos. The scorcher, the New Guy, and the Old guy tacos were amazing. Just had the nachos for the first time and I'm pretty sure I had an out of body experience or something. So good. My friends said the oysters were good too. The only thing that I had that was not a culinary masterpiece was the Islander taco. It was just bland by comparison to the other yummy stuff there.

You'll be sorry if you miss out on hotdog brunch on Sundays. Sooooo good! I will definitely be back to try all the other flavor combinations and the tacos - which I've heard (and seen on Instagram) are equally amazing. Definitely recommend this spot! Cute little patio. Cash only.

I cannot even tell you how much we love this place! Their tacos are amazing! They are small unique combination tacos on corn tortillas. The unique flavor combinations in these tacos are delicious and memorable. And their Sunday hot dog brunch is just so much fun. Hot dog brunch and mimosas, what better way to spend a Sunday morning? The place has such a relaxed welcoming atmosphere and the staff is always so nice and friendly. It is just an absolutely perfect little local bar.

The Ohio Tavern in Madison, WI. Their tacos, street corn and oysters were delicious! My favorite street corn is the Kona: crema, pineapple salsa, bacon and cilantro! Soooo good and unique. Oysters tasted fresh and I love the sauce that comes with it. And the tacos were all full of flavor.
