    First time here!
    Jessica L.

    So my friend was told to try out the Lobster Tacos here, "They're " to be exact. So she grabbed an order of 3 and posted on Snapchat. I love trying new things and I have not had lobster tacos, I immediately asked her where she got them and I hurried to make an order of my own. The lady cashing out was friendly, it was about a 20 min cook time which was no rush for me. I also ordered their garlic mashed potatoes, I don't know why but I wanted to try them. After eating my tacos and potatoes, I send a message to my friend to make sure we thought the same thing. You can taste that the food is very fresh and healthy but lacks actual taste. I really wonder what their nachos taste like. I might be back.

    My mom and I stopped by here for lunch! We are so glad they re-opened and we found the new location! We got the fish burrito, chicken tacos and a side of beans and rice. Everything was really good and fresh! Chicken was well seasoned and not dry! The fish burrito well balanced with all the toppings and the black beans were yummy! My only complaint is the refried beans had no flavor at all! The texture and consistency was fine but it needed butter or some salt as it was very bland. We will be back though!

    So much food!!

    Boyfriend and I were in the area for a craft show (unique Christmas gifts) and we decided to YELP nearby places for food. We love Mexican food and this place caught our eye for great reviews and "the best fish tacos" which they are known for. Service: 5 stars- excellent! The girls were so sweet and helpful! They knew the menu and gave great recommendations. I think they need to add a tip jar because they were great! Food: The food decent. We loved the steak tostada and the burrito. It didn't really have a traditional Mexican taste, but it was yummy. The portions were huge and filling. I would recommend the Horchata (which was fantastic). I loved the sour cream packets as well as the wrapped silverware. The only thing that I do not recommend is the nacho cheese. We ordered the "medium" and it was like a soup bowl- which isn't a bad thing but it wasn't the best cheese I've had. The place was clean with plenty of parking and just a fun place to be! I loved the decorations as well. Check out the Christmas-Palm Tree!

    Holy "guacamole" where do I begin... it definitely didn't look like your typical Mexican restaurant when we walked in, but after looking at the menu online, we decided we wanted to give it a go. The 3 employees working seemed as though they had no interest in being there whatsoever. The older lady who took our order was quite unfriendly and generally acted like we were a bother. I ordered a chipotle steak and potato burrito (no bell peppers, add cheese), a battered fish taco on a corn tortilla (no cucumber), and a chicken quesadilla for us to share. My boyfriend ordered a bacon breakfast burrito and the 2 chicken tamales for $3.99. It all came with complimentary chips and salsa. I was intrigued by the chips as there were some regular white ones, and some blue corn ones too! I like blue corn chips. Honestly, they were nothing special and kinda just tasted like a bag of Tostito's. The salsas were SO BLAND. NO FLAVOR. The green one was mediocre at best. The steak and potato burrito... the garlic mash inside was great! But that's all... the steak was extremely dry and flavorless. The chipotle mayo really lacked chipotle. The tortilla was stale and hard in some places. I honestly feel like I was eating a child's concoction of garlic mash, mayo and dry leftover meat. It really reminded me of a sleepover where children dare each other to eat strange combinations of foods. The fish taco... the item that is most boasted... wasn't bad! Definitely could tell it was a beer batter. The fish part was good. The chipotle mayo, again, no flavor. It generally comes with cabbage, chipotle mayo, cilantro and cucumber. I ordered it without cucumber. I'm pretty sure they just used a bag salad and not cabbage, considering I had strips of carrot on my taco? The tortilla was cold, hard and stale. All in all, I've had far better breaded fish tacos at a fraction of the cost here. The breakfast burrito was so obviously made with powdered eggs, which was a real disappointment given the cost! My boyfriend said that he could have just as easily gotten the same thing, only better, from McDonald's. The tamales.. oh the tamales.. after my first bite, the words that came out of my mouth were "oh no, honey... what are you doing?!" Dry. Bland. Itty bitty. Tasteless, texture NIGHTMARE. I was very disappointed with these. I love tamales, and I order them frequently. The quesadilla.. that chicken quesadilla. I am so disappointed. I was excited because of the way they describe their chicken, being cooked over a fire in secret seasonings and juices... got my mouth WATERING. What did I get? I got what could only be described as bad quality, bland STEAMED chicken, and some oily, melted cheddar cheese on a flour tortilla. It kind of reminded me of all those "don't get paid until next week so I gotta throw together what's in the fridge" meals. Suffice to say that we won't be returning. It wasn't worth the $33 and change. I give 2 stars, because I see what they're trying to do, but they are failing miserably! Bland and expensive food. Terrible presentation. Unfriendly staff. Get it together!

    The salmon sounds delicious!

    I came here for lunch with my sister who is from Cincinnati. Food was delicious! I had the burrito with grilled tilapia, and my sister had the supreme nachos with beef. Everything was flavorful! I tried the nachos, just the right amount of cheese, meat and guacamole. My seafood, cabbage, fish.. perfect. I always love eating here.

    We enjoy supporting this place because we know the owners, and it is local. The food is alright, but there are a few good things including the fish tacos and shrimp and steak quesadillas.

    This food is outstanding. We love the grilled and baha fish tacos best. The homemade guacamole is a must with warm chips.

You could drive right by thinking it was a vacant building except for all the cars in the lot. The notion of vacant building is dispelled immediately upon entry. The place is busy, loud, vibrant with customers clearly enjoying the food and experience. The interior is decorated simply, with muted colors, is well lit, and clean. There are a lot of hard surfaces which makes the ambient noise level fairly high; however, it did not detract from the experience (but just be advised in case you feel this is bothersome). We were greeted warmly and though the place was packed, we were seated quickly. Despite the diner-like vibe, there is no counter, just tables and booths. Our server was prompt, very pleasant, and efficient. The coffee was hot and flavorful. The food: Large portions, well prepared, warm, savory, satisfying. The loaded Cheers omelette, with hash browns and pancakes, was more food than I could enjoy in one sitting so I have leftovers for tomorrow. Prices are in line with more reasonably priced independent eateries. A two-egg, hash browns, pancake combo is $14. This place will be an option in the future.

Juicy-O provided each team member with an individual container that contained the food for breakfast. This made setup easy and convenient. There was scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, and hash browns inside each container, so you could get a full, classic breakfast all in one container. There was also pancakes and donuts for everyone, as well! I chose to eat the pancakes and those ended up being my favorite portion of the meal. The pancakes were light and fluffy! when I put syrup on them, they were absolutely delicious. It was a simple breakfast item but they did it right! Additionally, I ate a small amount of the scrambled eggs and both slices of bacon from my container. Everything tasted fresh, and the bacon was flavored well. Also, the portions were quite filling. I actually became full rather quickly after eating the pancakes and some of the other items. The breakfast that Juicy-O catered for us was excellent. The individual containers made serving the food extremely easy, and there was a large assortment of breakfast options available.

    Cute little spot in the mini mall that's packed with FLAVOR!!…read moreIf the lot is full parking is slightly difficult. Very cozy, familial feeling. Nice patio seating area of 5-6 tables you want outside but be careful the sun is beaming out there. Inside 5-four person tables, 2-two person tables, a cozy couch for drinking your preferred beverage, and a coffee bar seating. The service was great. As a black coffee drinker the guy allowed me to taste the Cafe de Olla to make sure it wasn't too sweet for me. It was perfect and piping hot. The cinnamon, star of anise, and sugar have a nice balanced flavor. The chilaquiles con bistek y salsa verde was DELICIOUS!! The salsa had the perfect amount of heat and flavor. The egg cooked over medium was fresh and a perfect match for my breakfast. I believe my toast was sour dough bread perfectly toasted. It's very seldom that I come across a perfect meal that doesn't over or under do something. So to create a beautiful breakfast that packed nothing highlighted my day.
