An excellent experience!! The tacos and sushi sounded a little different but ended up being amazing! We had the birria tacos and a Mexican sushi. The service and atmosphere were fun. We are so happy that we stopped!

Consistently good... the birria burritos/tacos, as well as the chicken quesadillas, are highly recommended. Along with the green chili salsa with a horchata to wash it down... you can't go wrong.

Clean place I liked the lemon sushi a lot and one of the fried tempura ones. The nachos were also delicious the only thing I didn’t find that appetizing was the jalapeno popper Rangoon things. Not my style tbh. However I was impressed the chef was quick. My friend and I came around 7 pm last Tuesday and wowwww we had just sat down and the food was already out. Amazing work. The girls taking our order were also really nice. 7/10 overall I would come back to try some more stuff...
