Got take out on a Thursday night. The order was ready well before the estimated time. It was hot, fresh and just as delicious as when we have eaten in. The staff were prompt and friendly. The pick up station is just inside the door next to the greeter’s stand. Definitely worth signing up for the app as we got a 15% discount.

A great find!! Quiet, affordable and authentic.
It wasnt too busy when arriving at 6pm.It got more crowded as the evening went on and was pretty full by 7:20. The service was fairly quick.
The food was very flavorful and smelled amazing. There is a limited selection on the menu for both appetizers and entrees. There is a build your section though, which is helpful.

Good service, decent food. Two stars off for the surprise "convenience fee". Maybe next time you can slip in a couple bucks on my tab for the detergent you used to wash my dishes.

The Food:
We ordered the Made to Order Guacamole, Ceviche, and 6 street tacos (2 sets of 3, 1 set not pictured). I personally tried the ground beef and Tinga chicken street tacos, the Made to Order Guacamole, and a small bite of the Ceviche. My favorite part of the meal was the fresh guacamole. Not only could you tell it was fresh, but it was very well portioned and was more than enough for two people. We had no problems adding some to our tacos but still having some for the chips. I was largely unsatisfied by the tacos. The flavor of the tortilla overpowered everything else. The Tinga Chicken had virtually no flavor other than the tortilla, and although I could taste the ground beef, I couldn’t help but think I could make better at home with some taco bell seasoning. I think the tacos would significantly improve with less tortilla (or maybe fuse them together so there’s not so much in every bite?). I used the green sauce on my tacos and it was very delicious - so much so that I was able to finish the meal with minimal issues despite aforementioned complaints. If I order tacos, I don’t expect the sauce to carry the flavor. The ceviche was okay. It was cooked and tasted as described so I think it is only personal preference that I didn’t enjoy it.
The Service:
Our server was kind and spoke slowly. This helped us not miss anything he was saying but I couldn’t help but wonder if he was tired, which would be understandable because we came right before closing. He was helpful in selecting from the menu, and our food came out promptly and just as we ordered.
The Atmosphere:
It was a nice setup, I enjoyed sitting at the high top tables which included a booth and a high seat. The music was a good volume, it was just loud enough that you couldn’t hear other tables but not too loud where you couldn’t hear the person you were sharing a meal with. We noticed to at one of the TV’s was casting from someone’s personal youtube and showed an execution from another country’s news channel. That was wild, unexpected, and not something we would have expected of this establishment. It would be much appreciated if the media shared was more closely monitored.
