Food was really good so authentic, I chose the Belgium waffles but all of my friends got the burritos which looked even better than mine but I wanted breakfast and they wanted lunch lol
October 2025
Awesome local spot! We had the guac and chips, surf & turf tacos, and the No Local burrito—everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. Great portions, friendly staff, and a welcoming vibe. Definitely a new favorite!

This place is awesome. The surf and turf burrito and the plátanos fritos were both delicious. Mason took care of us well, and he even let us sample a new strawberry croissant that he’s testing out.
