    This is the Spot!! I was traveling through the area and stopped in. 1. Absolutely delicious food! Convenient, fast, and made right! I had the vegan chicken burrito and the green goddess Fresh Juice. Whoah! Large portion and super fresh and delicious. 2.Each and every person in the place was happy, friendly, and made the experience excellent. Check it out.

    The food is delicious. I have tried several things on the menu. Tonight I tried the chicken wrap, so good, and I will be trying it again.

    The address is north Schuyler and it's to the right of the majestic. This place is amazing! If you can't find it do not give up! I got a tropical smoothie and a tropical dragon bowl. Best smoothie I've had in years! There wasn't a bunch of sugar or cream added. Finally a smoothie I didn't need a water to drink after it. The ingredients were fresh and delicious. I'm definitely trying the fresh squeezed fruit juice next visit! 12/10 will be back!
