Excellent food everything tasted extremely fresh and was presented very well. I can’t wait to go back and just sit at the bar and hang out for a while.

★★★★★ 5.0 Reighlyn Ford · Feb 2026

Had an awesome experience and service was outstanding! We were seated as soon as we walked through the doors. Ordered and received food within less than 10 minutes. The birria tacos were excellent. We have a new favorite spot to look forward to!

★★★★★ 5.0 Greg Rothlisberger · Feb 2026

Walking in the place feels completely different than the old business that was in this space. It's warm and inviting. Plenty of light but not overbearing. Music levels are at the right level to add ambiance without taking away from table conversations. The table servers were very attentive and helped to explain their menu items. Our food was fresh and had good flavor. The fried ice cream was a great end to the dinner.

This restaurant is AMAZING!! Everything was so fresh and delicious! I ordered the chicken and shrimp fajitas, which was HUGE and so, so good!! I wound up taking over half of it home for lunch tomorrow. My friend got the fajita burrito, which she enjoyed very much! And the chips and salsa are the best!! Chunky, fresh salsa and light, crispy tortilla chips! 😋 The restaurant is very clean and has a more open floor plan than the previous Carlos O'Kelly's, which I found appealing. Plus, the restaurant staff were friendly and nice. Definitely recommend this great restaurant and plan to go back soon to try more delicious food!!
