hubby and I will be back again!!
Cozy, friendly, tasty and authentic - I’ve been in the neighborhood for 16 years and Irazu has never disappointed… I take that back…. except on Sundays when I need a pepito sammy and they are closed, but I guess they need a day off. I’ve never had a bad meal or service here. Patio when we get the weather is a vibe and a half. Don’t skip the oatmeal shake… just go go go there :)
The food was Amazing! We had a bit of a wait but it was Well worth it, also the staff and the service were on Point as well!! I would highly recommend!!
