They have the best, most extensive selection of street tacos anywhere! The salads and entrees are amazing as well.

This is my first time visiting Fort Wayne. This place has plenty of windows and is full of light. I was here in the afternoon, so it wasn't very crowded. There were 40 beers on tap during my visit, and the tacos were amazing. Service was very friendly and beer knowledgeable. Overall I enjoyed my visit here, and if I'm ever in Fort Wayne again, I'll be sure to stop in.

My favorite place in ft Wayne when I visit. Great menu, atmosphere, and staff with 40 beers on tap and always adding a few new ones every week. Brew your own is coming in December which expands the footprint and the fun

Nice find in Ft Wayne. It's right downtown, there is a parking lot across the street. 40 taps with a pretty good variety. Nothin rare or unusual but wide variety of mostly Midwest beers. Service was very good. Kayla was very attentive and freely offered samples. Food selection was decent but not a huge amount of options. Multiple varieties of tasty tacos. Will definitely return wh in Ft Wayne..

Nice place in downtown Ft Wayne. Great location, with a nice view of the courthouse. urban chic decor. The bar itself is pretty small, 8-10 seats, but there are ample tables, and some outside seating. Full glass front and side makes for great people watching.
Beer selection is pretty good, 40+ taps, including a couple beers from Belgium and a couple from Germany. Unfortunately proper glassware was not used. My Tripel Karmeliet came in a 10 oz snifter, resulting in a very small pour when you count the head (for 9$). The German Hefe came in a standard pint glass. If you are going to bother serving these beers, there is no excuse for not having some kind of proper glassware. Also, print up some beer menus for Christ sake. It is awkward getting up to read the poorly placed chalkboard.
Food was interesting, but slightly over priced. Decent selection of small, but interesting tacos (duck, pork belly etc.) and a few Tortas. Also had a couple salads, and a kids menu.
Our server was great, the best part of our visit. Everyone was friendly. New place, hopefully they will work some of the kinks out.

Just opened in July 2015, great addition to local scene. About the only place in town dedicated to craft beer. They seem to have a great selection but with no beer menu it's hard to be sure. Servers seem to have very good knowledge of their beers to the point of quoting IBU and ABV off the top of their head. Some outdoor seating. Food menu is interesting - unique to the market.
