Sandra
Sandra, the proper taco salad is as follows: Spinach, spring mixed, mixed seasoned beans, corn salsa, black beans, fresh pico when seasonally available otherwise salsa, Southwest sauce, crispy tortillas and green onions.
Lois
Lois sounds like a nice, sweet lady of a certain age. Fun fact, she's not. She's sassy, with all sorts of attitude, she brings the heat and doesn't apologize for it. Kinda like the naughty librarian. Spring lettuce - chipotle Adobe garbanzo beans - southwest sauce - fajita veggies- corn salsa - avocado chunk - fresh jalapeño. Salads don't have to be boring. Excite your taste buds!

Cali - A Cactus Dip
Cactus. A plant that isn't taking any nonsense from anybody. We've managed to harness this maniac and turn it into the most excellent dip. Crema base, with cactus, green chiles, and seasoning. It's simple. It's delicious. Show nature who's boss and consume a plant that looks like a Medieval weapon. Yes, chips come with it. What kind of people do you think we are?

Meet Keith. Keith is excited to be here. He's an older guy, but super cool. He'll try anything once, and doesn't call anywhere home. He's a bit of a rolling stone, if you will. Catch up with him while you can. No one knows when he's gonna be gone, now that Betty White left I'm a bit concerned for his welfare. #SaveKeef
Spike
"Spike is SPICY! Some people like the heat. Maybe it brings back fond memories of a warm summer day? Maybe they are just the type who enjoy a little bit of pain? Either way we have a nacho just for these individuals. Corn tortilla chips, shredded romaine and pepper jack queso are pretty standard and nothing to worry about. But then we turn it up a bit with ancho chile chicken, cayenne aioli, avocado salsa, pickled jalapenos, our house blend of pepper seasoning, black beans, queso fresco and pickled red onions. ""Sophia"" meat is a great substitution for those who refrain from animal proteins, or just want to try something snappy."

I love the vibe and eclectic atmosphere. The servers were excellent and patient when helping us understand the menu. I'm not sure if the intent is a cost-saving measure, but I wish they had menus on the tables rather than having to stand up and read them on a TV screen that doesn't have high resolution and is not easy to view, especially for those with poor vision.
