We came in at around a little over an hr before close and there was a line when we got in and a line when we left The cooks in the back were WORKIN. They were wearing all the hats and getting everything done so fast. The kitchen was super clean and so was the front of house. All the tables were clean. The food was delicious. I got the mexicana and the sweet potato dessert fries. And the passion guava drink was also delicious. 👌

Blown away! Wow! Love the simple menu and fresh ingredients! I could taste the lime in the Pico de gallo! I ordered the healthy which is salmon, sweet potatoes, guacamole sauce and Pico de gallo. So good ate it all right up. The only gripe Id have is the salmon was just a touch too salty,but not a big deal and the other ingredients balanced it well. I also ordered the churros with whipped cream, a scoop of ice cream and drizzled chocolate and caramel sauce on top....my belly was swole when I left! I appreciate the excellent customer service and how attentive the team was. Happy that we stopped in today and a nice treat after having had a surgery today too. I look forward to visiting again another day.

Yall definitely need to get the churros too (even if your full its so worth it)

Our first time eating here since our recent move from California 1 month ago. Best French fry restaurant EVER! Our family loved every type of dish ordered. The Colombiano, Mexicano, and Carolina, and Grieco each have their own amazing taste that represent their respective cultural origins! We highly recommend it!

Holy Guacamole Batman!!! This place is Da Bomb!!! They greeted us upon walk in and Mo took over explaining how it works. It’s like a Chipotle but add potatoes (fries, sweet potato fries or baked potato) and top on total deliciousness!!! I’m not a dessert guy but the Churros & Cream was magical! Who doesn’t like a Churro! Thank you Mo for a wonderful experience! Can’t wait to get my brother here!
