10/10!!! I highly recommend! Jack was our server on the night of 4/27, but all of the staff were wonderful. They were so kind to take us shortly prior to closing and served with excellence, great care, and the food was bomb.com! Jack was amazing and sent a wonderful birthday treat to go for me. So darn sweet! I will be back for sure!!!!!!
Ordered the carnitas plate. 10/10 Chips and salsa? Fresh and delicious. Tortillas are hand made and fresh as well. Everything was packed with flavor, little wait time and great service! I would share a picture of my food- but I ate it all.
They were closing and stayed open for my wife's birthday. Food and drinks were stellar. Our waiter Josh or Jake (I forgot lol) was so accommodating.
