This place is bomb. You can tell that the guy that was making our food really cared about the quality of the food and the presentation. I had the Potato and Jalapeño and the Shrimp tacos, my friend had the Birria and Carne Asada tacos. We agreed that all were five stars. Not even a question.

We stopped in for lunch with our son and had an AMAZING time! Not only was the food spectacular, so was the view and the service. We started with the barbacoa taquitos, which were amazing! I had the barbacoa brisket tacos and the KFC tacos (probably the best tacos I've ever had). The barbacoa melted in my mouth and the KFC tacos, I don't even have words to say how yummy they were! My wife had the ahi bowl and our son had the carne asada bowl. All of the food was extremely fresh and the presentation was perfect! Emily, the owner, was simply delightful and offered wonderful recommendations. We will definitely be returning as much as possible.

LOVED THE FOOD. I had the Chorizo & Egg Quesadilla from Ama Modern Mexican and I feel like I made the perfect choice. I savored every bite and it seemed that my whole crew enjoyed their food. They have multiple restaurants in house in Avanti so you have a good amount of different cuisine options. They had a good system of notifying you when the food is ready
