    It was pretty dead inside so that should have been our queue. The food was OK but the service was terrible; we weren’t sure if the waiter even knew he worked there.. Won’t be returning and do not recommend

    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!
