Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Excerpts

Took my wife out here for dinner, and for the two of us it ended up costing about $63. The food itself wasn’t bad, but it just didn’t feel worth the price. I started off with two tacos — the meat had good flavor, but they barely came with any cheese. I had to order two sides of cheese at $2.25 each, so $4.50 just for cheese. After that, I ordered their $23 “big burrito.” The waitress was super nice and patient, told me it was huge and stuffed with meat. She wasn’t wrong about the size — it was massive — but it was about 97% rice, hardly any meat, and no cheese even though I asked for extra. The shell wasn’t folded right and fell apart the moment I tried to cut it. The tacos were thrown together for appearance sake, barely anything was inside the shell all on top of the shell, so ratios were way of. To be fair, the restaurant was spotless — clean bathrooms, clean kitchen, and friendly staff. But overall, for what I paid, I left disappointed. Honestly, even Chipotle felt like a better deal — more food, actually wrapped, unlimited toppings, and double meat for around $17.

was really clean and the place was well decorated. food came just as quick as it would waiting in a line for fast food. the food was the best Mexican food i’ve ever had and not to mention really filling i ended up taking half of it home for later. they have so many options that sound good i definitely will be coming back!!

Such a wonderful and unexpected experience! We were driving home from the Ice Castles and stumbled upon this gem, and we’re so glad we did. We honestly haven’t had great Mexican food in a long time, and this absolutely hit the spot. The restaurant itself is immaculate — beautifully designed tables and chairs, warm atmosphere, and very inviting. The portions were incredibly generous and the food was delicious. To top it all off, they even sang happy birthday, which made the day feel extra special. Our waiter was an absolute all-star — attentive, friendly, and made the entire experience even better. Thank you for such a memorable meal. Best of luck — we’ll definitely be back!
