Brought the family on a Saturday and we all walked out happy. Kids loved their food, my partner ordered the Elote and finished every bite. Prices feel fair for the portions. The dining room was a little loud but that's expected on weekends.
Came here on a whim during my lunch break and I'm hooked. The Elote was easily the best version I've had this year. Friendly staff, fast service, and they actually got my order right the first time. Will be back next week.
I work nearby and stop in at least twice a week. The Carnitas Bowl hits every time. Service is quick, the space is clean, and they take dietary requests seriously which I appreciate. Easy five stars from me.
Hidden gem. We were in the neighborhood for an appointment and stopped here based on a friend's recommendation. So glad we did. The Al Pastor Burrito was unreal — clearly made with care. We're already planning our next visit.
