I recently enjoyed lunch with one of my church friends. The food was fantastic, the service was great, and the atmosphere was perfect for enjoying a good conversation with good company. I had the Street Tacos (Al Pastor) and they were enjoyable. The chips and salsa are a bonus and the drink selection is pretty solid. Plenty of non alcoholic options which is a good thing. We went on a Monday around noontime and were seated immediately and seen by our server promptly. There's really nothing negative I can say. I will be going back in the near future!
