Other popular options include the City Zucchini or the Chile Relleno, which have crispy zucchini, caramelized onions, cherry tomatoes, olives, capers, black beans, corn, microgreens, and lime aioli. The restaurant also serves great seafood tacos, such as fish and shrimp, which are loaded with different ingredients for a mix of crunchy and soft textures. Customers appreciate the beans in the steak taco and garnishes like guacamole.
