    Visiting from out of town and stopped in here given a friends recommendation. I really enjoyed the tacos. They were unique and flavorful and I would certainly eat here again.

    Our server got pulled away. She said she got a very large to go order. Apologized and was fine after the long wait to get our order in. We had 6 people in our group. Everyone's order was perfect. As always the taco's were great.

    Sat at a table for 30 minutes. Multiple waitresses looked us in the eyes and avoided our table. Not sure of the reason. Wasn’t even served water! Left after 30 minutes to get tacos elsewhere. Horrible service!

    Do not get takeout from them. They told me 15 minutes. I checked they said it would be another two minutes, food not ready after waiting twenty minutes, and eventually I canceled the order after waiting for a half hour. They didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with doubling the amount of time and making me wait for so long and still not having the food ready. I canceled the order. if I had not, who knows how long I would've had to have waited.

    From the moment we walked in, the experience was miserable. The hostess was vaping and carrying on a conversation, leaving us standing there unacknowledged until she was finished. The lack of professionalism never improved. My custom order was completely wrong, and when my boyfriend asked for a knife, we were told they didn’t have one. While we were eating, the hostess was filing her nails nearby. We hated the atmosphere, the service, and the food. Nothing about this experience was enjoyable. We paid the bill and left without finishing our meals. It’s honestly shocking given the positive reviews — whatever standard those are based on was nowhere to be found during our visit. Our waitress, Jasmine, was the only positive of the night before her shift ended and we were passed on to someone else.
