Tacos had about 2 inches of grease in the bottom and it is super expensive. Food didn’t taste great either .

They are now adding an 18% service charge to every bill no matter if it’s 1, 2, 3, or 20+ people. The worst part is they aren’t telling about the charge and don’t even have a sign posted on the wall or anything.

Delicious food and drinks with the coolest employees. My husband and I will frequent this place. We fell in love everything they have to offer. This is our new go to place.
