I was here today and they don’t give cups for water anymore because of soda theft. Why should one pay $4 just to get a cup for water?

yikes ! I probably stole the recipe for nacho fries ? . However , they exceeded my expectations on food, atmosphere, and customer service. I’ll probably order food from them once a month. From the Tacos , The Mexican nacho fries I enjoyed everything in h menu & I made sure to check out everything before I left a review. This will probably be my second review ever on Google lol but this place definitely deserves it. They are five star maybe six star Michelin Worthy

I bought the salad with shrimp. It didn't tast3 bad but the lettuce ended up soggy I think because of the Pico. It wasn't worth $20.

This place is very overpriced and not at all worth the money. I asked to add guac to my burrito, and it was four dollars extra! That guac was not worth four dollars. Tell me why my burrito was smaller than chipotles yet somehow cost $18? Unbelievable. They are ripping off naive college kids.

Quite frankly this place was a bit of a let down. I saw some good reviews here about the food and I can't say I was impressed by anything here. The flan was uninspired and inconsistent. Some parts were hard, some parts were soft. It was baffling. It was if this flan was heated over a campfire with how inconsistent some of the internal bits were. The service was paradoxically slow for how few patrons were inside. The pulled chicken tacos I got were soupy, and a mess. The tortillas were cold but the meat was dripping and got everywhere, leading to this lukewarm food nightmare. The empanada was more breading than filling and the filling was drier than the Kalahari desert. After eating this I can confidently say I likely will never come back here. Somewhere in Latin America there is a very sad taco vendor that just woke up from a nightmare. He's comforted by his loving wife. "There there it was just a nightmare, what was it?"Subject matter? This establishment.

Very mediocre. Nothing you couldn't make at home in 10min with regular grocery store ingredients.

LOVE their burrito - I have gotten the carnitas burrito with cilantro sauce and cheese sauce & it's so incredibly good. I'm definitely coming back & definitely going to try more things

The food here was so good! The options of the different salsas were great. The blackend shrimp was good and cooked well, not chewy.
