Interesting atmosphere, great personal service, everyone was really friendly and helpful, manager even came to introduce himself as we were heading out.

We took food to go as we’re tired and it was a little noisy. We were told to order from the bar, but someone promptly came to the table next to it where we were sitting and took our order. Has hibiscus while waiting, delicious.

I had a veggie burrito and it came wet with green sauce but...

Was in town for work and stopped in for a bite to eat as the reviews were very good.

The food did not disappointment. They brought fresh chips and salsa to the table. The tacos were amazing! I highly recommend.

The staff was very friendly and attentive. The owners came out and said hello. When an establishment provides great service it always enhances the experience.

I highly recommend and will be returning.
