- KHKristal HosakaOct 29, 20255.0Stumbled upon this place when visiting boulder for the pearl street farmers market and the food was amazing. My boyfriend and I drove back a month later from Denver to see if it was really as good as we thought and sure enough the food and the service did not disappoint. Evan; the bartender, is extremely sociable and provided great recommendations on Happy Hour and he makes a killer margarita. Jaken the AGM checked on us and made sure the food was as we ordered and when something came out that wasn’t right he corrected it! We also had great conversation with Cody! The team here is amazing and makes for an enjoyable dining experience. The sampler is a must with the salsa, guacamole and queso! We also enjoy the nachos, quesa birria taco and potato taco! Definitely pay a visit to this place if you’re in the area visiting or if you live close!!
