Just went here for the first time and shocked to find out they have been in business for 20 years! So sad it took me so long to find it. Good drinks, large menu selection, good food, friendly staff and lovely, good size patio.

Got the street tacos with carnitas - hands down the best carnitas I’ve ever had in my life. They have these potatoes called olé potatoes which I had never had before, but they are so unbelievably good. Service was incredible and everyone was kind and friendly!!!! Already can’t wait to go back.

The food was amazing! I moved here 2 months ago from the south and I couldn’t find a place that had queso, but they have it and it’s amazing! I got the Birria tacos, so so so savory and delicious. I highly recommend. Rice was good as well! Only thing is, they seem slightly understaffed so it took a bit longer than expected (about 15 minutes for service and 40 to get our food). Overall great! And there is a food cart area right next to the restaurant where they serve churros...
