Its fresh tasting ingredients. It's so fresh that you can taste it. The Taco salad is wonderful and bonus a crispy taco bowl to go with it, I would, however, prefer an added choice of dressing for more flavor. The staff and manager are personable. They come to check in a pleasant way. Just right.

I’m literally here now. I’ve waited 30 mins for an appetizer and 10mins for the wrong drink. Food is JUST OK- I had to lap the entire building to find someone to seat me(that took 5-10mins). It’s not busy (4 tables being waited on) and maybe 8 front of house workers. Terrible service because they do not care 🤷🏽‍♀️

Food was hot and flavorful with every bite. It wasn't overly salty. Black beans were tender and rice moist. My chicken, beef, pork, and shrimp were tender and fresh and flavorful. So, my overall experience...chef💋

UPDATE: It has apparently been 6 years since that last visit. We've all been through it and THIS restaurant has seriously come out better. As a single dinner it can be difficult to judge pacing of the meal for a server. Destiny is amazing. Perfectly attentive and accommodating. I must say I will be back much more often. The food is the cleanest food I've had in the area. Much mor reminiscent of Salsarita's Fresh Cantina then Chipotle where everything has been beyond seasoned. With a sit down style restaurant it is amazing to have options to veto food items from a dish... Please, eat here!

It's American Tex-Mex food. More often then not food and drinks get brought to your table. May not be your food but eventually something will show up. Also, the food is edible and costs are typical for the type of fare they serve.

Amazing service from Matt and the head chef. They were so thoughtful and made sure my food was prepared without any lard products since I am allergic. I truly loved the ambience of the place and everyone was so friendly!

Food prices verse what you get on your plate do not match. Thus, upon my visit the establishment was empty with only 4 guests in enjoying an overpriced meal.

Surprisingly good food! Very flavorful. I got the grilled queso chicken and it was bomb. The service is a bit slow, though, so don't go in a rush.

Always BOMB! Use to be cooler when the mall was right across the street though. Some of the best chips, salsa and great drinks as well. Great patio seating.
