" I always find myself coming back for the smoothies, they really know how to serve a refreshing drink! I had their elotes last time, and while those were good, the real star is the mango smoothie. The staff can be a little busy sometimes, and the location is a tad small, but their dedication to customer service makes up for it. An overall enjoyable experience! " (*Curated Review*)
