I've visited Pasadena a few times and I think this place is going to be a staple part of every trip of me. Its so good! The perfect amount of spicy and lots of savory flavor. I did forget to mention I have cilantro soap gene, but there wasn't too much cilantro so it didn't ruin the experience. Love the Pibil Chicken Burrito. If I was local I'd be coming here all the time, and probably buying their sauce sampler, too. Also, we go to sample their ginger jamaica since they had just a little left, and it's excellent. Would absolutely be drinking that if they had enough for a full cup.

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.

I’m so glad I ventured outside of Old Town to try this Mex/Indian fusion place. Came with a big group so got a try a lot of dishes. Every dish is a fusion of both cuisines, some a bit more Indian and some a bit more Mexican. All super tasty. Of the dishes we tried: Masala birria bowl - this may have been my fave, I think leaned more Mexican with hints of Indian spices. Def would get again Pibil Chick & Nachos - my fave of the two nachos we got. The perfect blend of both cuisines. Gets a little heavy after a while but still delicious and great to share. Jeera Chick Chaat-chos - vegetarian friendly option, tasty, solid. 1/2 Rotisserie meal - comes with two sides, succulent, flavorful chicken with plethora of sauces, and my favorite type of tortillas (think Sinaloa style) Fenugreek esquires - a fun twist on your usual street corn Mom’s beans and roasted cauliflower also were amazing. Portions are huge and come with lots of sauces and pickled things. Their chili oil was killer in the best way possible. Super friendly service. I think the owner was out cashier. Highly recommend this place if you’re in Pasadena and love food

Wow. I got two outstanding tacos (birria and asada) and…mind blown. An amazing fusion that tastes incredible. And the sauce on the side is smoky and hot and delicious. Go now.
