    Wow what a great neighborhood gem!! Fantastic margaritas and sangria. Had delicious chips & guacamole. Built my own quesadilla with yummy barbacoa, black beans and cheese—sooo good! Also had shrimp and chorizo entree with rice and avocado which was scrumptious. Will definitely return! Thanks for a great meal!

    Very cool joint I must say. Easy to get a seat, food is really delicious and serving was fast and our plates were hot so we enjoyed getting warm food. Staff is very friendly and we felt welcomed and at ease eating there. Price is a little high for a joint but the quality and flavor made up for the high bill we got. I will highly recommend eating there, very nice neighborhood place.

    Wow, what an absolutely amazing experience! It's so cool that you can build your own bowl. And the environment is really peaceful and quiet, perfect for having a nice chat with your companions. Oh, and by the way, how awesome is it that you can easily strike up a conversation with the other people there? It's just fantastic!

    The food and services were excellent. Fajitas were delicious. We tried chicken and pulled pork empanadas and enjoyed them. There tried to play music but everyone they put it on low the music got extremely loud. They tried numerous times to change it but it always got loud. This happened over 10 times u til they finally unplugged it.
