The smell was awful when I walked in, like rotted food and septic. I was told this place was good and the group I was with wanted to stay. We ordered water to drink. We all agreed it tasted horrible. I dont even know how to describe it. I barely could swallow my food. I felt too nauseous from the smell to eat. But honestly not too bad the few bites I had. And every one else else ate with no other complaints. I decided to grab some sodas and Jarritos out of the case for us to drink...just in case. They did have the parking lot dug up. I probably wont go back...bad vibes. Mexican is hard to screw up...but I've found a few lately. 😒

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.

The food here is very good. I love the vegetarian options! I love the vegetarian Taco salad! It had everything! Broccoli, tomatoes, mushrooms, zucchini, onions shredded lettuce and sour cream and cheese sauce. It’s simply amazing! The staff is very friendly and always helpful. It’s a weekly go to for sure!

The food was pretty good! The cheese dip is one of best to get. Would have given 5 stars but was too hard to get a second drink and service was pretty slow. The place wasn’t even busy at the time. Still the food quality helps over shadow that.
