Food was good. We were given complimentary chips while dining in. There is an open salsa bar with a variety of salsa and toppings. The nice lady also asked us if we wanted refills for the side tortillas that came with the combo plates.

Good vegetarian/vegan food. I ordered the vegan taco plate with impossible meat and soy chorizo for the meat options and added cheese with it. My husband had the vegan burrito. My daughter had a cheese quesadilla. The food was very good. The service was great. We will definitely eat there again ☺️

Great fast service, wonderful atmosphere, and yummy food. Definitely come here and enjoy the outdoor tables. Staff is so friendly. Food was great.

The best pozole I’ve ever had hands down! Full of flavor and reasonably priced. Comes with all the toppings. The service was spectacular, the cashier (I didn’t get her name) I picked up food around 5pm on a Tuesday. She was very very sweet and kind. I will definitely be coming here for Mexican food moving forward. And almost forgot to mention the agua Fresca de Jamaica is made from scratch and is delicious!!
