We totally enjoyed this place, we tried the carnitas fried taco's and a couple of their empanadas. Even the desert empanada. It was delicious. My wife tried the Coconut Mango Hibiscus Lemonade, that was Amazing. The White Queso with Chorizo was also Amazing and the Yuca Fries were delicious. Overall an Amazing experience. I would recommend people to try this!!
Excellent and creative tacos! The shells are fried and taste great. The apple empanada is delicious! A great hole in the wall place with plenty of patio seating. Daughter loved the dinosaur quesadilla holder. Great family spot!
Update at the end of the review.
They also do have vegan and vegetarian options that are not more expensive than the rest of the menu. According to the menu there also an option for vegan fry oil to prevent cross contact. They also have a very fun beer list to work with including a sour on the menu. I was just doing takeout so I will have to explore that later.
As far as the team goes, they were incredibly helpful and were incredibly excited to answer questions and engage. The food was also absolutely incredible. I ordered the cuban sandwhich, guava and cream cheese empanada, and the coconut lavender lemonade. I also tried the coconut mango hibiscus lemonade as well as all the salsas. The cuban was stellar and reminded me of the food I would get in Florida. It was mildly spicy so if you're sensitive to spice, keep that in mind. The guava and cream cheese empanada was absolutely incredible and fried fresh to order. This is my favorite pastry of all time and it was perfect and my favorite thing I ordered. The coconut lavender lemonade was really well balanced and the lavender added great floral notes without being overpowering. The mango lemonade was also incredible.
The salsas are all pact full of flavor. The mild salsa definitely still has spice to it. If you're sensitive to spice, this is not a spice free sauce. The medium spice salsa was also really well balanced and probably where I would have stopped. The final and spiciest salsa called the yum yum sauce. I was able to taste all of the notes of the salsa so it wasn't just pure heat. I really loved the flavor but it is definitely the spiciest and made my eyes water so if you like spicy, this one is fantastic.
Overall, this seems like a super fun place to go for friends, family and just as a great place to grab some food. I definitely recommend unless you have the sensory issues I mentioned earlier.
Update: The reason I gave 4 stars in my original review was the first thing I noticed when I walked in. The music is very loud and if you have sensory processing issues due to neurodivergency of some kind like autism, I would not recommend ordering food at the location. When I asked if the music was always this loud, I was told by the incredibly friendly and helpful team member that they weren't sure but I should reach out to the owners as they strive to be inclusive as possible. The to go bag actually came with information of how to contact them and a really positive message so I reached out to contact them via email.
They responded back very quickly to my email to them and were incredibly understanding. The music was turned up when it was busier and it sounds like the owner or manager accidentally took the sound control with them when they left for the day. They also said that they would still be willing to turn down the music if asked as well as having outside seating when the weather gets nicer. They were incredibly polite and not judgemental at all. I absolutely recommend this restaurant whole heartedly because the service and food is outstanding.
Came after the festival this past weekend, super cool location! Excited to see what the area turns into as more shops open.
Service was good, staff is new and location has barley opened so take that into consideration. Food came out quick! Very flavorful, portions could be larger but it’s definitely a vibe and worth it. Guac was a little old and the chips were stale.
Employees are super cool and friendly, will come back to see how they have improved!
Amazing food and employees! All very attentive and professional! Timing from ordering to serving was great! The special beers are amazing and the lemonades and teas are to die for!! Don’t miss out on this cool place to hang out and have some great food and beers! Can’t wait to go back for some more great food and awesome time with friends or family! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
