The whole menu is celiac friendly, and they have great vegan options, for a good price and a big portion. Service is very friendly, a lil slow, but we should take things slower nowadays, and delicious food takes a lil time.

Had the machete with chorizo. Black corn tortillas just like I used to get in Guatemala! Que rico!

Kombucha was perfect and the drink from the cacao bar was refreshing and energizing.

Food was a little on the expensive side ... But not over the top.

Service was good ... Not great.

Will definitely return for the food and ambiance.

We had the pozol and two machetes. Probably could have shared a machete, except it was so delicious I ate the whole thing! Highly recommend this little spot if you are looking for great Central/South American cuisine in the area. Also a huge plus is the gluten free menu!

Kind service and delicious food. Ask servers for drink recommendations!!

Get a meal and make sure you get one of their cacao drinks!! The one with lavender is amazingly fresh with floral notes. Service is great also.

I entered the restaurant to pick up a delivery order and waited at the door for several minutes, but no staff came out to assist me. I then approached the kitchen door and said “hello” so someone could notice me. I only mentioned the customer name, and a staff member who was chatting inside came out with a surprised expression, as if I shouldn’t have been waiting there while he was talking with a colleague during working hours.

Later, I realized that the same staff member gave me a thumbs-down on the delivery app. Everyone knows that parking can be difficult and that delivery drivers are under pressure to complete orders quickly. I don’t understand why I had to wait when the order was already prepared, packed, and sitting there, especially while staff continued chatting instead of handing it over.

To the restaurant owner: please speak with your staff and remind them not to leave delivery drivers waiting unnecessarily or give negative ratings on delivery apps because of their own delays.
