“Lots of menu options!! Delish delish delish food, quick turnaround, and friendly staff. The dining area was smaller than average so not sure how large groups would fare. Our table was very wobbly/uneven which made our water glasses dance frequently. Only gave 4 stars for service as I asked for chicken but got beef (in the end it didn't matter as it was delicious anyway) and we had to wait and ask for water refills. Definitely would revisit next time we are in town!“

Cheese Tostada

“The "Zep" grinder/sub is really good. The bread they use is very fresh and perfect for a sandwich. Crust is just tough enough to not fall apart under the weight of all the filling but the interior is soft and delicious. We got it with all their sauces and I was not disappointed. The deli meat (especially the ham) was a really good quality, decent flavor, good texture.Potato skins w/ cheese and taco meat were what you'd expect, no glorious revelation but taste good and better with sour cream.Their fried items were not over or under done and appeared to be made in new/clean oil.Price was affordable (compared to fast food it was down right cheap) and the location was VERY clean. Staff was friendly.Tacos were the only thing that wasn't particularly notable.Swung by once or twice and they were closed when I thought they'd be open but besides that they're definitely worth a visit. Or two; or three if you live less than a mile away.Parking: Lots of space.Kid-friendliness: Family friendly for sure. Our little one is a big fan.“

Our food was fresh, hot, and flavorful, with large portions for reasonable prices. This is a restaurant that's 100% deserving of all the hype it gets. I can't wait to go back!“

“Fun little place to stop in and grab a quick bite or perfect after a late night out. Large variety from sandwiches to tacos, with gluten-free options to choose from too. Gluten-free options are clearly marked on the menu, which includes the hardshell tacos that were good. The red sauce has a great kick to it, so if you like a bit of spice, I would recommend getting it. Great place, with even better prices!Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free options are clearly marked on the menu.“
