    “I thought it was enjoyable. Not only the beer, but the brewery itself was unique. They did have a food vendor in the front, but I did not eat. They have mostly indoor, and a couple picnic tables outside which. It’s hard to compare this location with the other burgeon locations because they are all so different. Wish they would offer a Happy Hour or a featured/discounted beer like how Harland and Pizzaport does.”

He had such a fun, friendly personality and made us feel welcome from the moment we sat down. Uziel was attentive, kind, and genuinely enjoyable to talk to. He had us laughing and made the entire dining experience feel fun and relaxed while still providing excellent service. You can tell when someone truly enjoys taking care of their guests, and that definitely came through with him. The food was great, but Uziel really made our visit memorable. Tortilla Mia is lucky to have him! We will definitely be back and would be very happy to have Uziel as our server again.”

    “Better than some other bars where you have to mess about with credit cards, pay later, &c. Friendly bar staff. Decent pinot noir. Classic rock on the sound system: like most of Southern California, they haven’t progressed past the early 1970s, so much of the music is 50 years old!! Warning: not a drinker’s bar. Locals sip on kombucha while you’re sitting there getting slaughtered.”
