“Leider war unser Besuch alles andere als angenehm. Wir hatten einen Platz im Schatten reserviert. Kamen an und bekamen erst mal eine Platz direkt in der Sonne zugeteilt. Wir dachten uns, naja, hilft ja nichts. Dann ging das Warten los. Wir saßen 25 Minuten in der prallen Sonne, ohne auch nur beachtet zu werden. Nach uns kommende Gäste wieder bedient, wir hatten weder Schatten noch Getränke. Irgendwann wurde ein Schattenplatz frei. Den schnappten wir uns dann. Und nach insgesamt 35 Minuten konnten wir auch endlich unsere Getränke bestellen (kurzzeitig waren wir schon am Überlegen lieber zum goldenen M zu fahren) Wir bestellten als zeitgleich Getränke und essen. Essen kam dann auch. Nur leider hatten wir kein Bedteck. Also wieder warten. Nach dem wir leicht angsäuert waren, genossen wir aber das leckere Essen. Die restlichen Pizza gaben wir der Bedienung zum einpacken. Wir bezahlten und warteten wieder - auf die eingepackte Pizza. Irgendwann ging mein Mann nach oben zur Theke, wo die Bedienung stand und Besteck abtrocknen. Auf unsere Frage wo denn die Pizza sei, "oh die hab ich ganz vergessen, da drüben steht sie" Naja ist halt alles andre als gut gelaufen an diesem Tag. Aber das Essen war wirklich lecker.“

The food is absolutely outstanding, with a menu that blends classic American breakfast favorites with delicious Mexican flavors. Everything tasted fresh and perfectly prepared, and the portions were generous.

“Dear Kirigin Cellars Team, I wanted to take a moment to sincerely thank you, not just for your consistently outstanding wines, but for the remarkable kindness and attentiveness of your staff. During a recent visit, I decided to ask /for just in case/—about a pair of sunglasses I lost nearly six months ago. These weren’t just any sunglasses; they were a gift from my wife, and I’d resigned myself to the idea that they were gone for good. To my amazement, I was kindly directed to your lost and found shelf, and there they were—just waiting. It was a small miracle made possible by the thoughtful care of your team. It’s moments like these that show how special Kirigin Cellars truly is. The quality of your wines is matched only by the character of the people who represent you. Thank you for being exceptional in every way. Warmest regards, Gen“

I ordered the Blackened Shrimp with mashed potatoes & vegetables. Cocktail: Long Island. We also had the bread basket. It wasn't crowded. Most customers were seated at the bar having drinks. No loud conversations just friendly chatter which made it a very pleasant experience. The decor was“

“Highly recommended, this taqueria is amazing, they always serve big portions, my favorites are tacos.
Hand made tortillas and there's permanently a bar with pico de gallo salas, sliced cucumber, guacamole sauce, red pepper sauce, diced onion and cilantro, etc.
The service is super friendly and really fast.
Also they sell a giant torta, I think that's enough for 4 maybe 5 persons to eat.
And please don't forget to ask for Agua de orchata.
Anyway, I really like this place, I think I can go there at least twice a week.“

“Three of us, family members, were looking for lunch, after Outlet Mall shopping. Found this. We only ordered Dim Sum, multiple dishes. All good, hot, fresh... served as they got done. Good service. Can't comment on the larger menu, but a winner, for Dim Sum.“

“Consistently delicious with large portions. Gets very busy weekend mornings.

Update 03/06/26: Today we went for their Friday Fish Fry, which is an AYCE fish & chips special that happens every Friday after 4pm. The meal comes with breaded pollock, french fries, coleslaw, and hush puppies. Their hand-breaded fish fillets are AMAZING! The outer breadcrumb coating is super crispy and flavorful, the fish filets are fresh tasting and not at all fishy, and the hush puppies are melt-in-your-mouth tender. We've been sleeping on this deal for years but now our eyes are open! We'll definitely be back for another time!“
