I love this place! It's a local favorite for sure, but for those visitors wanting some great food, great drinks, outside in the beautiful Island air with salt of the earth people, find this hidden secret! Their Breakfast Tortilla Melt is my all-time FAVORITE breakfast taco ever! No joke! You'll love everything you get from this family resturaunt!

Okay! We have been coming here for at least 10 years. The tacos actually were 75 ¢, then $1, Now $2. We have seen the family grow up as well; that own the establishment. So here is a real review for you. Tacos are great. You can order chicken, chorizo, ground beef, and carnitas for the $2.00. For those of you used to California SALTY food, you will not find it--add salt. The food is an authentic style. They come with salsa, one, and limes, one each. REMEMBER, you are on an island where things are more expensive to deilver!!! The will charge 50¢ for an extra half of lime or $1 for a whole one. They are not a charity and there pricing is fair. PLUS great drink pricing as the pictures will show. We had chicken tacos, with HOT salsa, but I am used to ghost pepper sauce so it was not hot for me! Children had carnitas. I also had a shrimp taco (not happy hour) it was fabulous. Wife also had a fish taco (and she is a Tapatia; LOVED it. Beer is cold! And lots of variety. FULL bar for those that want more. This time I took pictures of others enjoying--and a CURRENT price menu. BTW they have a great breakfast and lunch menu!!! Service was great, and the owner's daughter friendly...When they are busy of course they have to move faster and may not chat as much. Nice and breezy, with shade and sun. So.....there is a picture of a grandmother and her two granddaughters. They were there for grandpa's birthday. The love the food...see their smiles? I talked to them a lot and they were happy with their choice at the Sand Trap. The other table were just there eating. This guy had a fantastic beard and smile...like out of movie. All of them loved the variety of food they chose. The last is of the bartender. Say HELLO to this guy when you are there. He remembered us from all past times...He has a little more gray hair now, but as friendly as ever...having South American ancestry, we argued over the way to order... I said "pido," he said "quiero." Loved the banter!!! We agreed to disagree--due to age ( I am older, and dialectal usage...bit still fun!). YOU MUST TRY THID PLACE!!! Leave you conceptions behind and enjoy "comida autentica."

I just had the worst experience at a restaurant ever. Over charged us for tacos and because we parked our golf cart in front??. I still tipped them before realizing this. Once I realized she charged extra for fish tacos, she then pointed to a small almost confusing menu about what’s included. It went on. They Messed up our tacos 3 times. Unbelievable! Unapologetic too. Makes me wonder if they are racist or don’t like their job. An apology for messing up orders is the minimum, then when asked about the extra charges she pointed out to a 3.9% for using debit and credit cards. Are they racist or just not willing to work in low season?? This is my last time I come here.

We stopped here during their happy hour for tacos and margaritas and it was the best $30 I have spent all year. Tacos are 2 bucks at happy hour and we had one of each and they are all amazing. Margaritas are well made, although I wish they served them in glassware. Small gripe, but food was fast and amazing, drinks tastes great. 5/5, would eat any and every day.

While riding around on our electric bikes, we decided to stop in for a drink & snack. Across the street from the golf course & plenty of outside covered dining. Come in and you are greeted by the bartender willing & eager to make you a drink. Food was opposite the bar & had to order from the walk up window. Reasonably priced & will visit again.

The location was very nice with great shaded outdoor seating, food was made to order so it was hot fresh and tasty, they had a beer option which I found great, staff was friendly and attentive, food came out relatively fast with a smile and prices were good.

Legitimately the best margarita I've ever had in my life, bar none. We just stumbled upon this place at random and didn't expect much but it was so good we immediately ordered a second round. The food was great too! We got quesadillas and tacos and I'd recommend all of it.
