Worst experience of any vitality bowl location…read more I Have ordered a super green goddess salad twice this week and each time I was given a grain bowl instead. The second time it happened i was already home and had to drive back to the store. I told them they had given me a grain bowl but she told me I ordered a grain bowl "see there's the rice" but I kept my receipt and showed them that I ordered a salad. Not a grain bowl. She said she would remake it but felt like I had to prove to her they made my dish wrong. Like I ordered the wrong thing? Thank god I didn't throw the receipt. I think it's funny there's a sign that says they care about allergens when they gave me the wrong bowl twice. Just does not seem to be any diligence. Almost like they saw green goddess on the ticket and made whatever they wanted. I would not recommend - overpriced food for terrible service, no thanks.

I most recently tried their peppermint mocha and lavender latte, both of which I got iced. They were delicious!! I'm a really big fan of minty chocolatey drinks and I thought the peppermint mocha was done really well for an iced version. The lavender latte was actually a pleasant surprise for me! I wasn't expecting to like it so much and the lavender and coffee were really balanced. The chicken gyro was good as well! It came with a sauce and was packed with veggies, which I appreciate. I do wish they had cucumbers in their gyros too though. Overall great experience :)

It's a bit tight inside, but there is seating of various configurations. It's pretty easy to find what you need, like utensils, napkins, & water. There is free Wi-Fi & power strips, which are appreciated. The service is friendly and quick. My orders typically complete within 5-10 minutes. The drinks are pretty good. If you've never had any sort of pink chai, then I'd suggest the Pink Chai Latte. I had mine hot, and it was nicely foamed & sweetened. I also enjoyed the Peppermint Mocha, though the flavors were a bit subtler than I'd prefer. The food is fine. There aren't too many Mediterranean options in town (that I know), but you can probably find better if you go farther out. I liked the pita & yogurt in the Gyros (Beef & Lamb) Wrap, but the actual meat & veggies were just adequate. The Saffron Chicken Platter was a lot saucier & more tangy than I was prepared for.. an interesting dish but not one I'd get again.

We ordered a mix of meats including the tri-tip, brisket, and ribs, along with several sides. Everything came out fresh and the meats were tender with a nice smoky flavor. The tri-tip was cooked well and had a good seasoning, the brisket was moist, and the ribs were meaty and easy to pull apart. The mac and cheese, potato salad, and coleslaw were all solid choices, and the garlic bread was a nice addition. Service was friendly and the staff were helpful when explaining the menu. Prices felt reasonable for the amount of food we received. Overall, a very good local BBQ spot that we'd be happy to come back to.

Furthermore, the decor blew me away with all the Puerto Rican flags, art, pictures on the wall and bright colors. They serve authentic dishes from Pernil with arroz con gandules, beef and chicken empanadillas, and mofongo. For this visit, I ordered the daily special, which was the combo Pernil plate with arroz con gandules, tostones (fried plantains), and a beef empanadilla. My hubby ordered the chuletas combo plate. All I gotta say is that after I took that first bite of Pernil, I instantly knew that this was not going to be our only time eating here. The Pernil wasn't dry and the skin (the best part) was so crispy, including the tostones. The beef empanadilla was delicious! Not only was the food amazing, the service was excellent! Plus I couldn't stop dancing while eating in my seat while they played Bad Bunny songs. We met the owner who was very friendly and I loved the positive energy that he brought to the restaurant which made our first dining experience such a vibe! If I could give this place more than 5 stars I would. Can't wait to come back to try the mofongo!
