    Taco Salad
    Duke S.

    Underrated spot that is tucked away in the corner of a plaza. Small and unassuming it's definitely worth giving this place a shot. They were very quick to help and serve us for an early dinner. They do close early (6:00) as they specialize more in brunch and lunch so plan accordingly. But the taco salad was a great portion size for the price and had tons of all the toppings/garnishes.

    Got the breakfast burrito for $13 and although it's on the smaller side in comparison to other restaurants, the flavor was great! It's definitely on the dryer side and I would ask for an extra cup of hot sauce on the side.

    Cheese. Enchiladas

    Amazing service , amazing food. You can see the kitchen and watch the amazing chef cook, I love it here . This is my first time . Their salsa and chips are super fresh. I'm definitely come back. They have a nice patio area that's definitely a vibe . It's a smaller restaurant in a grocery parking lot . AMAZING. Rice and beans are perfection

    I stopped off here this morning to pick up an early meal. I was the only there for a short period and the food was prepared quickly and I was out quickly. I do wish the staff were a little less grumpy though, my mood was down 20% after that interaction. The food was a good portion and decent.

    I tried the chicken regular tacos and thought it was decent. The meat maintained moisture and was well seasoned. It came with corn tacos and the typical fixings (onions, cilantro, etc.). I asked for a side of their green salsa, which had a pretty good kick. There is plenty of parking in the plaza. The food was prepared quickly and service was prompt.

    Al pastor Torta

    I go here for the Al Pastor torta. I get a Tamarindo Jarritos with it, and it legit makes my whole day. The torta is so good. I'm a gringa, so I don't know how the al pastor compares to other places or styles, but I love it. Small business run by a chef and waitress. They work hard and deserve the community's support. Good, clean small joint that cares about its customers. I live and work nearby, and I love that this reliable spot is open every day from 9:00 to 6:00, so I can come by any day for lunch!

    Regular Burrito (chicken).

    I've been to this plaza less than 5x. I did not know a taqueria is located here. It was a Friday and I promised Tess I would get her poke for dinner. I knew Gavin and I would get Mexican but I didn't know from where. I wanted to get the poke out of the way first but serendipity presented itself when we parked. Flamingo's was 3-4 doors down from poke. SCORE! Gavin ordered a regular chicken burrito and I ordered the chile verde and super nachos. I can't speak for Gavin but he enjoyed both halves of his burritos, no complaints whatsoever. I inhaled the chile verde that same evening; the pork was tender and paired perfectly w/ their fluffy rice! I did not like the super nachos... the top of the nachos was good but once you've eaten everything at the top, the rest was rather dry and flavorless. Skip the nachos. Get the chile verde. They have outdoor dining as well.

    Located right next door to Lions market for some reason I had the hardest time spotting their sign "no joke" anyhooo wifey and I managed to find them. When I first walked I noticed the place looks unkempt, normally I would have walked out at this point but after looking at all posted food pictures I decided to give it a go. Now the lady that took our order seem very stern, no smile and was very direct. I ordered a chorizo and egg with potatoes and cheese breakfast burrito, I asked her if i could have bacon with it? She said... no, one meat only, beacon extra. I was thinking to myself, self what did you get yourself into? I just smiled and said that is fine with me, please add beacon. I also ordered a horchata drink. A couple minutes later she came back to the table with some chips and watery salsa and the Horchata. "This review sounds like it's going downhill doesn't it? Actually here's where everything completely turns around. I took a sip of the horchata and my taste buds exploded!! It had such a beautiful cinnamon taste (little on the sweeter side but sooo good" honestly I don't think I've ever had Horchata that was even remotely as good as this! About 10 minutes later my breakfast burrito showed up cut in half. With a side of the same watery salsa. when I added the salsa to the burrito it had a really mild smoky flavor, simply delicious. And my breakfast? Oh...... my..... gosh!! Everything about it was freaking amazing!! The big chunks of potatoes tasted better than the best home fries! The burrito had a light chorizo flavor with a beautiful bacon aftertaste, and was perfectly juicy. It has been years since I've had A breakfast burrito so good, I'm talking like over 30 years!! Yah man, that good. I think the lady over herd me having a food-gasm. Yah man I was making some noise!! I must have told her 5 times how good it was, she just smiled the shot me that stern look again lol, I really think she's a softy on the inside because she asked me if I wanted A refill on my Horchata or if I wanted any water? I said no as I was quite satisfied plus I couldn't see cuz myzz eyezzz were still rolled up in the back of my head C; bottom line is I would give them 5 if they spend some time cleaning the place and tidying up a bit. But the food 5 stars all day every day!!

    Super burrito minus beans pico and sour cream
    Denise L.

    Friend and I were craving burritos so made our way to this taqueria, part of a decent sized plaza off Saratoga. It's clean and nice, waitress was attentive. Their menu is pretty extensive, with even breakfast items! However, we both got the carne asada super burrito, and I omitted the beans, pico and sour cream. We were given a handful of chips and salsa, salsa was pretty good. We also asked for a spicier salsa for our burritos. I liked how the tortilla came grilled. We did get some cartilage in our carne asada, but tends to be normal at times. The burrito was good, but nothing out of the ordinary.

When walking, we missed the restaurant initially because this place is clearly, a hidden gem, especially being hidden along the nightclub strip. We were blown away by the curated vibes. From the thoughtful decor to The Office being projected on the wall. It felt hip, fresh and refined. We decided to craft our own drinks - Arnold Palmers, his favorite. But they only had sparkling lemonade, which actually made it even better. We shared a salad that had some cooked pears and squash alongside the greens, walnuts, cranberries and blue cheese. I do feel like the cooked sweet elements overpowered the salad with their sweetness and textures a bit. Wondering if a refreshing pear for crunch or more dressing could have brightened it up and provided a salty, sweet balance. I ordered the Short Ribs with a parsnip purée and roasted carrots and it did not disappoint. Everything paired beautifully together, perfectly salted and cooked. I finished the entire plate. Dad got the Pork Chop and while it was overcooked, he loved the flavors happening in the dish and was pleasantly surprised by the refreshing treatment of the kale.

    Hey there Party People…read more I've been to the Table several times since my first review for the restaurant and just felt I needed to restate the obvious....this place is great. Hubby and I wanted to have brunch The Table is the best spot. You can get bottomless Mimosas for a very reasonable price. But first and foremost the food is what you go for. Not to mention you can take a very pleasant walk along Willow street and check out the shops after a great meal. The menu really lends to sharing plates so you can really get your foody on. We had the beignets to start. Made with ricotta and lemon curd for dipping. The beignets were very moist and a little dense because of the ricotta. The sugar coating was light and the crust was perfectly crunchy. What really made the beignets sing was the lemon curd dipping sauce just added a deep layering of flavor. Then there was the Heirloom Tomato salad with artichoke hearts. It was a tasty bite. The fry on the artichoke hearts was light bringing out the artichoke flavor. The treatment of the heirloom was clean simple and the whole dish together was just wonderful. Finally we had the Chicago Roast beef sandwich. It was huge and made me glad that we were splitting the dishes. The sandwich really reminded me of the east coast because of the peppers and carrots medley that was on the sandwich, which packed a fantastic little kick to wake up the pallet.
