" I have been a loyal customer for a few years now. The flavors are consistently good, and I appreciate that every dish is made fresh to order. Their salsa is the best I've tasted in the area! Even though the seating is tight, I must say the character of the place really makes up for it. " (*Curated Review*)

" Amazing customer service! I can't speak highly enough about my waitress, she was so attentive and friendly. The food was freshly prepared and flavorful. I enjoyed every bite of my carne asada fries. The only negative would be the seating arrangements; it’s definitely tight! " (*Curated Review*)
