“I am challenged eating out as I have a dairy allergy and am used to settling on my order (salad again...) but lo and behold- I found a dish that was 110% delicious and didn't need any tweaking. The miso glazed salmon is a winner!!! Giant kudos to the chef for understanding the challenges of food allergy sufferers...I finally felt like I wasn't at the "kids table." BRAVO! I will be back!“

“This place has amazing choices for lunch or dinner. My go-to, steak tacos & recently the birria tacos (amazing). I have talked with Jacob (GM) on several occasions & he has Barberitos headed in the right direction. The atmosphere is great & the employees are always willing to take care of the customers. Don't pass this place without giving them a chance. If you've been there before & it didn't meet your expectations. Do yourself a favor & drop back in.“
