They have a nice menu with lots to choose from. They also have a chip and salsa bar that is complimentary with outstanding salsas that are all handmade in the restaurant. The green one (forgot the name) was my favorite. It was made with tomatillos, avocados, onions and cilantro. Yum. I met Edgar,the owner, who was a super nice guy. He has three of these restaurants and is a very busy guy. His daughter works there and was super sweet. We had taco salads, one with carnitas and the other with al pastor. Both were amazing. This is a solid restaurant. You won't be disappointed. Check it out!

I've called and been answered with just a "hey" by this young girl. I personally recommend this place all the time because I used to get great food with great service but recently it's been unpleasant to say the least. We don't get a welcome or a thank either when we get to the restaurant. She is also always accompanied by a younger gentleman whom she seems to be distracted by. I think I'll have to put a hold on going to this restaurant for while.

It was sprinkling that day and this patio area was covered but had openings. So I had to get a hoodie and blankets to stay warm. We were the only ones there so surprised that it took awhile but I'll wait for good food. We started with chips and salsa, which were really crispy and freshly made. They also gave us a tray of three sauces and napkins. We ordered a carne asada quesadilla. Great portion and not light on the meat. We also had kiss Siberia plates three of those and we shared this came with five Quesabirria tacos. I'd say about the size of a street taco it came with of course the consume. It was delicious crispy lots of meat. My daughter got the kids quesadilla also a nice serving we drank water, but my one son got Horchata and that was fire.

First, the restaurant is quite small with a very quiet atmosphere--surprisingly so, especially with a jukebox that wasn't in use. The space didn't feel particularly clean, and the chairs were outdated and could definitely use some refurbishing. When we received the menus, I was honestly shocked by the prices. This is something I wish more reviewers had mentioned. We ordered a shrimp tostada (about $13) and shrimp fajitas (around $24). The shrimp tostada was disappointing--the shrimp was chopped so finely that it was hard to tell it was even there. It was overwhelmed by cucumber, tomato, and cilantro. The fajitas were similarly underwhelming: the shrimp were cut in half and curled up, with maybe around ten pieces total, but there was an excessive amount of large-cut onions and bell peppers, which made the dish less enjoyable. On the positive side, the staff was friendly, and the horchata we ordered was excellent. I did mention that the bell peppers were overabundant and cut too thick, but my feedback didn't seem to go anywhere. One concern I had was seeing staff handle multiple tasks--taking payments, cleaning tables, and serving food--without ever noticing handwashing, which was a bit off-putting. I'm not completely writing this place off, as I'd like to return and try their breakfast. Most reviews are positive, so perhaps this was just an off night. Still, given today's prices, I expect the quality to match. Beans were bland and rice was cold, I'm sure made way ahead of time. I'll update my thoughts after a second visit--judge for yourself in the meantime.

I had the short rib taco, which was really good, but the Ahi Crudo was definitely my favorite. Lily was very knowledgeable about the menu and recommended some local beers, which convinced me to try something different, and I have no regrets. The food and drinks were excellent. As someone who has worked in the restaurant industry for over two decades, I have to say I was very impressed by the service from the entire staff, from the moment I approached the host stand to the moment I left. It truly felt like everyone paid attention to detail. Lily's service was outstanding. I hope to come back soon and try some of the main dishes.

There was barely any chicken and the veggies were cut in a stringy fashion, making it hard to eat the soup in any graceful manner with pieces hanging off every spoonful.

Sticky rice cocktail - delicious and easy to drink, loved it.

Tucked into the corner of a Starbucks location, this cute little spot is small but super inviting--and definitely lives up to the hype. As soon as we walked in, the place was clean and filled with the delicious smell of spices and fresh food. I ordered the chilaquiles (not listed on the menu, but they'll make it for you with your choice of meat or traditional eggs for the same price). I went with chili verde, and wow--I was not disappointed. It was loaded with meat, sauce, cheese, cilantro, onion, and sour cream. Absolutely worth the $13, and I'd 100% order it again--next time with al pastor! We also tried the chicken enchilada plate ($13), which was just as good. Great flavor, the perfect amount of sauce and cheese, and it came with rice and beans on the side. For drinks, they've got a wide selection, including alcoholic options. I grabbed a Jarritos--just a heads up, they're $3.50 each, a bit pricey, but ice cold and refreshing. Overall, this place was a hit for us. The waitress, Erma, was friendly, polite, and attentive--which, let's be honest, isn't always easy to find. The restaurant is clean, has plenty of seating, and judging by the steady flow of customers, it's definitely no secret anymore! Give it a try and see for yourself--I'm pretty sure you'll love it too.
