I'd just received difficult news and came here for dinner, hoping for a pick-me-up. It was a rough first experience. I walked up to the storefront and the girl behind the counter turned around and stuck her tongue out at me with a grimace. No response when I asked her or her co-worker what was wrong, just chuckles.Disappointed.

Good service and vegetarian options available. Desserts need work. Brownie had a very weird after taste. Macaroons were hard Tamale - it was my first time having this item. It was interesting experience for the price. Empanadas - stuffing could have been more. Burrito is customizable and very filling for the price. Overall cheap and decent food. Went again, Very poor bowl quality. Less quantity for the price.
