Garry, the secretive guard, made my visit to El Efes unforgettable. He’s got this mysterious, watchful presence—like he knows every secret in the room but will never spill a word. Somehow, he balances being welcoming and protective at the same time. You feel safe, but also a little curious about what he’s thinking. It’s all part of the atmosphere, and honestly, El Efes wouldn’t be the same without him. Cheers to Garry, the man of quiet confidence!

Cute spot... however first impressionswas the front door slamming behind me louder than the music. Fountain drinks were flat or out, chips were almost soft with very little crunch-stale. Not great service and limited replacement options. 6$ credit card thick cheese dilla. Chimichangas were banging, so was the burrito. Just goto chipotle for consistency and somehow better overall quality.

I have only tried their burrito bowl and highly recommend it. Their portion size is enormous. They have a good choice of veggies and meat. Service is quick and they have ample seating.
