Place was nice, food was great. Our server was really great too. Only issue is when we walked in, we were left standing there for a few minutes while staff standing around just kind of looked at us. Granted maybe their English wasn’t the best but a simple “hey, one second” would’ve been nice instead of just staring at us while we waited to be seated. I think maybe the owner(s) should consider finding more staff, they seemed to be low on people.

I placed a to-go order for chicken soup.
It was delicious, although the avocado should be served on the side so it doesn't get mushy. Also a lime wedge would've been nice. My main comment, tho, is that a large soda costs $5, which considering a container of soup was $10, is pretty pricey. With tax and the to-go fee, lunch was more than $16.

The food is absolutely delicious. The staff is wonderful. Our waitress couldn't have been more friendly or more attentive. The outstanding food is by far the best Mexican food we've had in Jacksonville, NC and some of the best we've had anywhere we've traveled. The shredded chicken tacos were juicy when many restaurants serve dry chicken tacos. The California burrito is the only legit Cali burrito I've had outside of LA. My wife's burrito supreme...
