Tried this place for the first time and it might be a new fave of ours! Tried 3 vegan tacos on Taco Tuesday and their Sangria from the happy hour menu… all were great! We also were able to try the chocolate cake at the end which was incredible. I read it gets busy on the weekends but on a Tuesday early evening it was perfect and relaxed. Maddie was our server and she was very personable and fast, and she made the experience that much better! Thanks Maddie!
