" Had high hopes based on all the glowing reviews. I found the food good but not exceptional. The service was prompt, but the overall experience fell flat compared to my expectations. I had the chicken tacos that were decent, but I felt they lacked the bold flavors I was looking for. " (*Curated Review*)
