Reviews
Was looking for nice cozy place to go to on a chilly night after a long day at work.
The atmosphere was peaceful and relaxing
The employees were friendly and welcoming
The food was well served and had delicious flavor
There is so many options to choose from.
We will definitely be returning.
The food is super tasty and they prepared it really fast. The staff is very friendly and there is a late happy hour which makes it a perfect spot to eat well and have some drinks.
Let me also just get the bat out of the way. The restaurant at a 1.95% surcharge on all checks, however, the issue is that the surcharge is actually not 1.95%. It is closer to 2% or 2.1% . This is a little scummy by the establishment.
However, like I said, the food is excellent.
We started off with the queso fundido. This had so much flavor with the fresh tomatoes and onions on top, but the Cheez itself was grilled beautifully. The tortillas were also double layers and tasted fresh and homemade.
Then we got some tacos. The duck tacos are by far the best that this place has. Super crispy and flavorful duck. That taco lives rent free in my mind. The Ahi tuna taco was also very unique as I had not tried this before. Seared ahi tuna was cooked really well. I do wish they had served this with some lime to bring it together. Finally, we tried the chicken tacos. These were also excellent, however, I personally prefer Pollo Asado over shredded chicken. Again, I think if they added a salsa or some lime, this would really bring the dish together well.
The mango Agua fresco was delicious. Refreshing, bubbly, but they only give you a small quantity and fill it to the brim with ice.
Service overall was fine. They came by once to fill up our water, and maybe two other times to just check on us.
The atmosphere is also excellent. They have an upstairs enclosed heated area, which was nice to get away from the rowdiness at the bar downstairs.
Overall, I would come back just for the queso as well as the duck tacos.
