“Originally we came for ice cream but when we noticed their turkey sandwich, so we got one to share. It exceeded our expectations. It was toasted and had all the fixings like tomato, lettuce, melted mozzarella cheese, bacon, chipotle Aioli on a sourdough bread. WE DEVOURED IT SO FAST, I'm sorry there isn't a picture to prove it. We also got a banana split and churros locos. A lot, I know but we shared and it was delicious.“

“Overall, it was a decent experience!I arrived on a Saturday afternoon around 12pm. It was busy as expected but I was able to be seated right away at the little mimosa bar.Unfortunately I waited about 20 minutes before a waiter acknowledged me. I only had table water that the hostess gave me. When I finally did get served, the waiter was super nice (from the receipt, I think his name was Jamie).I had the chilaquiles with the tomatillo sauce. They were delicious. I also tried the tres leches latte, which was way too sweet.Overall, this place is okay! Areas of improvement would be in the attentiveness of servers and offering different sweetness levels for their lattes. I definitely want to come back to try some of the other items on the food menu.“

“Very enjoyable Mexican restaurant Indoor and outdoor seating - heaters and lights! Got the following: Soap de Lima: 5 stars, got a side of avocado with it and it was perfect. Full of flavor but very light. Made for a great lunch 3 tacos: 5 stars, carnitas, al pastor, and asada. They gave me plenty of limes, but the meat was tender and flavorful without them Mini chimis: 5 stars, we got carnitas chimis, and they gave us plenty of sour cream and avocado and lime to go with them. Very filling - we ate this as a meal. Marianna was our server and was very friendly and enjoyable to joke with. Would come back!“

“Ok.... so we had such a great experience 2 weeks ago when we went for the first time that we bragged so much about it and decided to return last week with a friend. Well it was a completly different experience and it was so terrible that i said i would not return. I even gave them such a bad reviews because I was so angry. Anyways today my Husband talked me into going again because he said let's try it one more time. Give them a chance we might be surprised.When we walked in....I knew the young server from last week remembered us from last week and I told my Husband I know they saw the bad review I gave. I was uncomfortable but stayed. The young woman that came up and asked if we wanted something to drink she was very nice. We Hadn't seen her the last 2 visits. But it turned out that she's one of the managers. Her name was Yvette. I think the server from last week didn't want to help us but I can't say that I blamed her. When She brought our coffee and asked if we were ready to order. We ordered and my Husband mentioned we had a bad experience last week but we would like to try the fruit plate again. She told us right away that she had seen the review and so did the owner and she knew it was us from the server telling her it was. She apologized right away about what happened to us and explained the young server we had last week was new and that they appreciated our real input because it helps the restaurant learn. She said the owner even had a meeting about things to improve on. She Thanked us for giving them another try. She continued to be our server. Everything was awesome. She talked to us off and on a few times and even though it was awkward.... it was really nice. When she gave us our check.... she tried to comp the ticket which was nice. We said it was unessasary. She still gave us a few bucks off anyways which was nice. I attached a picture of the wonderful fruit plate too. Anyways....I guess the moral here is.... sometimes a bad review helps like in this case. But sometimes.... including myself.... we sould maybe stop think that maybe everyone has a bad day and sometimes it's better to remember that.Thanks Guys for a great visit this time!“

“This is my 2nd time in 6 months and I must say it didn't fail my expectations. I do not live in the area but when I am I will always make it her to here. The burgers are made to order and the meat is just so tasteful. My son ordered the shrimp burger and he said it was nothing he has had and would 1000% order it again. My son completely finished his burger as did I.“
