Best smash burger I’ve ever had. Also had a delicious cocktail. This place rules. Went for lunch and it was not busy, despite being known as being so good. Worth the price to get the extra patty on the burger. You can skip the fries.

Downtown salsa club. Not a neighborhood bar. A taco restaurant with no tacos.

The food is absolutely delicious. The bartender, the blonde short hair girl is super nice and takes care of everything. The menu is small but the most delicious food Ive had. The chicken skewers are mouthwatering and i avoid ordering chicken in restaurants usually. The beans and the garlic rice are amazing. Our tacos were very good too. Just the kitchen was sooooo slow but it was worth it at the end. The music was beautiful too

The bartender Brittany was spectacular. Very friendly and accommodating . She made the bar a great atmosphere to be at . Kanto Taquieria is the food that was being served which is Filipino inspired tacos and street food by Chef David . The food was immaculate. Very flavorful and to die for . HIGHLY RECOMMEND . The bbq chicken skews were everything . The tacos and quesadillas exceeded my expectations with the flavor. I will be back

This spot is the perfect mix of great food, cozy bar vibes, and pure fun. The staff is friendly, the drinks are strong, and the kitchen really delivers, everything came out fresh and full of flavor. But the real star of the night?Wednesday Karaoke. The energy was electric, the sound system was clean, and the crowd was supportive enough to make anyone feel like a performer. If you’re looking for a place to unwind, sing your heart out, and enjoy a great meal, this is the place to be.

I grabbed drinks with a friend here, and it was a very nice place to catch up and hang out! The weather was nice, so the patio doors were wide open which added to the atmosphere of the bar. I didn't try too much of their food, but what I got was pretty decent enough to tide me over until I got home for some actual dinner. Would definitely go here again!

The bartender was quite rude. Went there looking for a buyer and it turns out they don’t sell burgers there anymore. She didn’t even mention that the new place that sells burgers is down the street. It was just a “no”, then she turned her back and never acknowledged us again. I had to find that out from the place next door.

This is a great local bar, but what’s awesome is the food that comes out of this place. I came here in the last month at three different times and there was a different menu of food each time. Which feels like it would be complicated, but it wasn’t. Because every single item was phenomenal. I had the most incredible chicken sandwich this last Monday and then I came back Wednesday thinking I was getting a sandwich and got the most flavorful Filipino tacos with garlic rice and beans and the first time I came here they had SMASH JIBARITOS, a delicious Puerto Rican concept. So no matter when you go there’s gonna be some good food.

Wait time for food was long. Other groups that came later got their food first. We even overheard from one group their food order came out wrong. It’s understandable if they are short on hands but to have consistent mistakes and long wait times is another story. At least the burgers and chips were good. They also have trivia cards with their booths too.

Outdoor patio was lovely. The burgers are fab. Drinks were strong. Music was funky (in a good way). Will be back!

The smash jibarito was why I was here, it's messy in the best of ways. You will have greasy hands and it will be worth it.
