I must tell you that the reverse nachos are addicting. The ability to add whatever toppings and ingredients you want right in front of you, is amazing. The vibe is calming, sometimes the music is loud - which is okay. The staff are always attentive, friendly and helpful. Speaking to the staff is like speaking to old friends, as if you've known them for years. They are real people. Diverse. Lovely. I support this local business and I'm glad it is in my neighborhood.

Terrible tacos. Cold, crumbly tortillas that couldn't be lifted. They fell apart instantly, and had to be eaten like a bowl. Never wasting my money on a meal here again.

I was literally sent 100% raw steak, I’m in disbelief… you guys can kill someone like this. And good luck getting a human on the phone, have to wait until Monday to contact corporate. Be careful and check your food if ordering from here.
