The team here is warm, welcoming, and easy to communicate with, which makes ordering simple and comfortable. I really appreciate that they can assist guests in both English and Spanish. The food is full of flavor and clearly made with care. Sometimes popular items like avocados sell out, which honestly just shows how much people love this place. A great spot with great energy and amazing food.

One of our favorite local eateries. We usually get and share one of their platters between two and always have leftovers, so a lot of food for the value. Everything is well prepared and flavorful. Be mindful that parking is limited on a busy road, so we typically park at the Dunkin Donuts lot across the street and walk over.
