This is a no frills dining spot with indoor and outdoor seating. The indoor seating is not air conditioned and the doors stay open most of the time so take bug spray to keep the mosquitos away. I've been here a handful of times and keep coming back for the pineapple margaritas. They're strong and fresh tasting and at $32 a pitcher, you and some friends can share easily. They have a great happy hour deal (two house margs, four tacos, $20). Totally worth it. We split one order and then added a pitcher for the table. Service is quick and polite. Water is served when you sit down, but you can refill on your own at any time. Order from a QR card on the table and runners will get the food/drinks out as they're available (don't expect everyone in your party to be served at once). We got the chips and queso as a starter. It's just white cheese melted. No spice whatsoever. Kind of a bummer. We got carne asada and barbacoa tacos. The former were better than the latter.

Ok spot on h st... there's just so many other better options. Very impersonal- you have to order from the QR code and they still get your order wrong (each time I've come that's happened). You can people watch on h st but the vibe is def picnic-y. The horchata is delicious but other than that, nothing special in my opinion. I've given it a couple shots but won't be back. Also, super overpriced and mosquito city.

My roommate and I just moved to NE and tried Chupacabra for the first time. Gary (who I think is the owner or manager) was incredibly friendly and gracious, he even gave us free drinks as it was our first time there, and gave me a free order of corn chips for my dog. The fish tacos were delicious, all of the staff were great, the ambience was super fun and laid back, and we had a great time. This will definitely become one of our go-to spots !

First time trying and wasn't bad at all. Tried 5 different tacos, the Cuban Pork,lamb, Al Pastor,Barbacoa, and Asada. The first 3 names were good, although I'm not sure how I feel about lamb on tacos. But it worked. The asada was overcooked, and barbacoa was just ok.Feel like they over did it with the topping: onions and raddishes,took away from flavor a bit.Also, I tried the Horchata save your money on that,may be better with the liquor. Got it for takeout, so service was what it was. However, they did charge gratuity for that.

Sandwiches, Rice & Beans, Cilantro Rice, Desserts, & Beverages..Items Reviewed: I got 6 corn tortilla Tacos for $18. All tacos came with Cilantro, Radish, & Onion.Their Birria Taco (with braised beef, & queso). ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!

Even the sour cream!!Their Birria Cheesesteak (Birria with Queso, peppers, onions, & consumé on a toasted roll $15). DECENT. It was good, but flavorless. The ingredients didn't bite back.PASS on their consumé, tasted old..Customer Service: Welcoming & Engaging, but a tad bit slow..Online Navigation: EASY.Parking: Street/Metered .Recommendations: Get that Lamb Taco, & Chorizo Taco with all their sauces!!=STAMP=A.DELICIOUS=DELICIOUS =DECENT=PASS=NAH#Bigschlimsreviews

Delicious! My mouth was watering to the point I didn't take a picture and I was ready to eat. I got the 2 fish tacos and a margarita (rocks or frozen) for $12 on FRIDAY. What a deal! Sit where you want, scan your order pay on the phone and we got our order in less than 6 minutes. I will be back! Especially because the fish tacos were so big,Flavorful and the margarita was hitting. Gary was great he took care of us! This may be my new favorite Friday treat!!!

Oh my, what a dumpster fire. Showed up with a couple of friends for margaritas and guacamole and chips. We are served a piss-poor pitcher of what tested like fruit juice and then given plastic cups to drink from, one of them dirty. Then we notice the manager, or whoever he was, being annoyed dealing with a table of deaf clients. To top things off, we observe another staff person drinking shots and guzzling right out of a bottle of tequila! It was just surreal.

Had the birria tacos; they were just ok. Not bad, but the least flavorful of all the birria tacos I've ever had. Had these been my first experience with the dish, I probably wouldn't ever order it again. It was served with plentiful dipping sauce (also not much flavor) and very fresh lemon wedges.

Wanted to like this place but there are a ton of things awry. The queso blanco is not queso blanco at all. It is very very very poor quality cheese melted down and does not taste like queso blanco at all. It's not even white. No spice to it. It really shouldn't be called queso blanco.I did an online order and wrote down two times NO ONIONS because I'm very intolerant to them and cannot eat them. alas, every taco we ordered came covered in onions. the taste and quality and flavor just isn't great. bummer.
