Rating based mostly on service. My partner and I had been looking forward to trying this place for a while. We were excited about the menu, the vibes, the BYO, etc. We came on a Saturday night and ordered three plates.
First order came out and it was delicious. Fish tacos. Amazing.
Second order, feta queso. They ran out of chips so we were just served the cheese. We asked about pita but he told us the chips were much better. 30 minutes passed so we asked for pita or any other alternative vehicle to eat the app we ordered. The server said the pita will in fact be faster since they “are still cutting up the chips.”
When we ask about our main, he there was a mixup in the kitchen (read: he maybe forgot to put it in?) and they were sold out. We sat for 45min waiting with dishes on the table stacked to be removed. When we closed out he told us the following things:
“Next time you need to try the chips, they’re so good” - after telling us to wait for them and not serving them to us?
“The table behind you actually got the sandwich. So good.” - after they arrived an hour after us. Was that our sandwich?
“Tell your friends and come back for the food” - I said it will be a hard sell.
We left laughing because it felt like we were pranked. I’m bummed because the one dish we did eat was great and wow did I come here wanting to sing its praises. But we left surprised, feeling mocked instead of served. The food that passed us through the night looked great.

Delicious mezze and tacos! A favorite spot for lunch or dinner. Would recommend the crunchy taco, bandera, lamb birria and any of the salads.

The service was comically bad. Went for Valentine’s Day and the food was late, some items never arrived, and they had one waiter for the entire restaurant. Highly chaotic and unsatisfactory experience

Food is super tasty with a unique spicy spin. My kids love the food, too, and they are very picky. Especially love the burritos and sauces.
