Food was good but a bit surprised that their tacos were served with flour tortillas. Service was great.

Hidden gem of Franklin Street!

Would not recommend……. hostess was incredibly rude and would not allow us to join a table of our friends despite open seats. Food is marginal and not enough to make up for incredibly rude hostess

Initial service was subpar, while other tables had already gotten their chips we were still waiting for someone to even take our order. After what seemed like forever, someone took our order and we got our food. The service was incredibly delayed and the waitress got one of our orders wrong.

I started eating my nachos until I found a HAIR on my food and I asked for them to take it back. I asked for a simple quesadilla instead, which I couldn’t finish because of a weird taste, and once I paid they CHARGED me for the nachos. I tried to discuss with them that all I had eaten was a quesadilla, but they avoided any sense of responsibility and got defensive for no reason.

Terrible experience!

Visited on a business trip in Aug. 2024. Planned to eat in, but the moment I walked in and the smell of turpentine hit me like a brick, I immediately switched my order to take out. I got the San Antonio Burrito. I wish I could say it got better, but it didn't. Now, I love onions and peppers, but this burrito was chuck full of barely cooked, huge chunks of both. Along with just a little chicken, and no cheese that I could tell. Couple it with just a tiny pouch of chips. It was disappointing on many levels.

Very underwhelming. Quality has gone down since they moved locations.

Employees were friendly but food was terrible. Absolutely the worst food I've had in a very long time. Mostly inedible. Also, there was a strong odor or fumes that were really offensive. Not a good experience.
