“This is a hidden, out of the way spot with a lot of character - not the super-currated kind of character, but instead the more organic character of a hidden campus favorite hangout from the 1970s or 80s. It's small and cozy but, for those with mobility disabilities, I'd be surprised if you'd feel at ease in this tight space with uneven floors. There is a lovely outdoor patio eating area with picnic benches on the river, there is a ramp to access it, but I didn't remeber to look for accessible picnic tables, my apologies. I ordered the one vegan item I saw on the menu, the yam tacos. These are double-layered soft corn tortillas stuffed to the gills with black beans, roasted sweet potato (not yam), a simple cabbage slaw, and fresh cilantro. There was no way to pick these up, I had to remove 1/3 to 1/2 the filling of my two tacos to be able to pick them up. You do get a lot of food, the majority of it beans, you won't leave hungry. If you like your taco filling hearty and comfort-food-ish, you may love these. I like spices and complex flavors, and found these absolutely serviceable, but bland. My vegetarian and omnivore friends seemed to enjoy their dishes a bit more. The restaurant had a little freezer with these tiny ice cream cups that fit one full scoop of ice cream in them that was locally made and in a variety of flavors. This was a fun treat for my friends who can eat dairy-based foods, it was just enough to round out their meal and there were at least half a dozen flavors to choose from. It's a one-of-a-kind-place.Vegetarian options: There are multiple vegetarian options, they are not marked, you just have to find them, but it's not a long menu. There is one vegan option on the menu.Dietary restrictions: All of their tacos are corn tortilla-based, but if you are a strict celiac they do serve wheat-based sandwiches and burritos, so there is a risk of cross contamination.Parking: There is a strip of nose-in city provided parking right by their building, there is no parking dedicated to/owned by the business. We were there at peak lunch hour on a Friday and there were still multiple spots available, despite it being hopping, but it was easy to see that it could fill up at any moment so it isn't a sure bet you'll find something on that block of it's a busy time. There is one accessible parking space right by their building, it is the parking space closest to their building.Kid-friendliness: It's small, it's loud, there's a bar in it - not a typical kid place. That said, kids are clearly perfectly welcome, it's not a snobby place in the least, and there is a small kids menu list at the back of the menu. And the outside patio eating area on a nice day would be great with kids, there's room to stretch out.Wheelchair accessibility: The door *might* be wide enough for your chair or rolator, but I kind of doubt it. The sidewalk just in front of their door is uneven and had an almost invisible small step up that is a tripping hazard. The space inside is narrow and awkward to navigate.“
