Went with the pibil chicken, it was delicious. The Alabama white sauce it came with was surprisingly good, I'm not usually a fan, but it worked well with the chicken. I also got some of the sauce for the other chicken prep, which was fantastic. My only gripe is the prices. I can handle $19 for a half chicken, but $5 for a tiny corn muffin or a scoop of black beans is rather steep. I'll come back to try the other chicken prep, but I don't think I'll be getting a side. Well, not the cornbread... the black beans with beef tallow were delicious.

Saw this place just opened and wanted to check it out and happy to say we have a winner. My daughter (10) is a picky eater and even she was a fan, especially of the cornbread. Very much recommend

Really awesome spot. Always liked the Riot BBQ spot so needed to try this. The big boy pibil has outstanding flavor! Decent dirty rice Ave cornbread muffin. The Mexican protein bar is a tamale and cones with a good salsa fresca which I would recommend even getting with the chicken.
