I enjoy eating the food from here. It is clean. Food is good. I have done take out and dine in. They have an outside seating area which is nice. They serve alcohol for those who want a beer or cocktail etc. They have trivia night. It is worth trying once and if you don't enjoy it that is up to you if you go back or not. I got the tri tip steak and potatoes which was delicious.

Such a cool place with amazing food. The value is incredible, it blows chipotle out of the water. The potatoes are delicious!

Vegetarian options: Great vegetarian options, and a new plant based meat option that was super good!

I usually meet up with a group on Saturday night. It's a good place to have a pretty lively bunch. Amazing outdoor seating.

Just went there last Saturday. Awesome tacos. Fun staff

Parking: Kind of a confusing lot but decent size
