Found a long black hair in my food (my hair is blonde so it wasn't mine) and when I pointed it out to the waiter and asked for a replacement or a refund, I was denied and told I had to pay more if I wanted it replaced. I just found this little place a couple months ago and liked it. Will never be coming back again after the treatment. Horrible people.

I was greeted and tended to with a warm smile, which already goes a long way when it comes down to great service. I enjoyed the food and the freshly made pineapple juice. Would definitely go back 😋

If you haven’t been here, you have got to give it a try! The food is SO GOOD, the cocktails are tasty (try La Mula - you’re welcome! 😉), and the team is warm and welcoming. It’s a great neighborhood spot!

The service was good, our server was patient and provided us with some recommendations. One item on the menu that caught our eye was the avocado coleslaw. In my head I thought avocado tossed in with coleslaw mix. So I wanted to try that. I ended up ordering the Churrasco and substituted out the beans, rice and tortillas (trying to cut carbs) for the avocado coleslaw and onion rings. My dish came out and the avocado coleslaw was just sliced avocado on top of a bowl of coleslaw and the avocado w

Visited this restaurant on the night of my arrival to NC straight from the airport. Happy they served us as it was late on a weeknight and they were closing soon. Food was decent and tacos were very good but the live musician was very loud. The couple who books the music in addition to the manager, were very nice.
