    Best aguachile I've ever had, and the best (and most unique) chicken burrito! I can't wait to try everything else.

    I really want to like this place but I feel like the idea is better than the execution. I've come twice and both times felt like I was getting a less enjoyable version of Lebanese or Mexican. Combined with prices that are pretty high for the value, it's hard for me to justify. Dips appetizer was okay (muhammara was very sweet, hummus lacked enough tahini, labneh was very thick and didn't have any acidic/sour taste). The elote was solid and more refreshing compared to the other apps. Sujuk tacos felt very simple and bland in preparation. Fish tacos were better, though also needed something acidic to accentuate the flavor. This street could use either a great casual Lebanese spot, or a taco spot. In my opinion the sum of the two parts is unfortunately a negative.

    Really fresh ingredients and flavorful. The burrito and the torta was lacking, though. 19 dollar burrito was very small and had very little pico and almost no sour cream making. The torta had 20 - 80 filling to bread ratio. The green sauce is amazing , clean space with plenty of seating.
