We were stopping on a road trip for the night and this menu stuck out. The place is funky and fun. Even though they were short staffed and busy, they were flying around and friendly. The food was great. I had the pork belly tacos and my wife had a pizza and they were both delicious. Margaritas were incredible. Loved this place!!

Stopped here with my wife to get a quick meal! The staff here is super friendly and helpful with all our questions. The restaurant was also very nice and clean inside. Only downfall was the taste of the food. It really did taste awful! If I return in the future since the staff was so nice and friendly I will have to try something different!

We went with a group of friends, we order beef street tacos: they came with COLESLAW, and ground beef, and they were cold.Two hamburgers that were bland, literally I have tasted better hamburgers at Burger King, and one of our friends who eat the hamburger got indigestion from it.In general we had a really bad experience with the food, the service was good but food was not worth the almost 60 dollars we pay.

Went a couple of weeks ago with a friend for a lighter dinner. Waitresses were very friendly, the food tasted good, but I think most of the terrible service came from the kitchen. We ordered a drink, our food, and after we got our drink we ordered a to go bowl too.We waited for an hour before receiving not our food, but the to go order. Apologies were made and three different excuses were given by different people. We waited another thirty minutes before getting our food. The food tasted great, but my friend’s nachos were cold by the time they made it to us. We had to ask to get a drink comped for our trouble. They didn’t offer, we had to ask. Which I felt was fair.Again, the waitresses were very friendly and the food tasted great. But this isn’t the first time we’ve had to wait a long time when the restaurant is less than half full.

I was taken here to celebrate my birthday and all around it was a 10 STAR experience. Dharma, our waitress, was phenomenal! She was attentive, kind, and ensured that our food was correct and delicious! I definitely recommend visiting this establishment and the Shaka Tacos with street corn! Ask for Dharma!
