Solid spot. The Carne Asada Tacos is a standout — bold flavors, well-seasoned, comes out hot. Took off a star only because the wait at the counter was longer than I expected on a weekday. Still, I'd come back without hesitation.
I work nearby and stop in at least twice a week. The Chips & Queso hits every time. Service is quick, the space is clean, and they take dietary requests seriously which I appreciate. Easy five stars from me.
Brought the family on a Saturday and we all walked out happy. Kids loved their food, my partner ordered the Carnitas Bowl and finished every bite. Prices feel fair for the portions. The dining room was a little loud but that's expected on weekends.
Great tacos & mexican option for the area. The Al Pastor Burrito was the highlight, big portion and well-priced. Seating is limited so if you come at peak hours plan on takeout. I'll be back.
Brick Kitchen has become my regular weekday lunch. Consistent quality, generous portions, and the staff has started to recognize me. I usually grab the Elote but I've worked through most of the menu and haven't had a miss yet.
