It was so cool to see a new taco spot open up right around the corner. It definitely will grab your attention when you walk by. Very Family Friendly spot. I love that they also had a chalk wall to keep kids entertained. I thought this was a cool feature. They have tons of seating space in the restaurant.

My wife and I were craving tacos and we decided to give this place a shot! Very conveniently located, customer service was great and the food was fantastic. My wife got the chapel cheesesteak epic nachos, I got some chicken fajita tacos, and we shared an order of the birria bundle. We loved everything. For the food we got, the prices are comparable to what we’d have paid if we’d gone to chipotle and gotten our usual meals instead.

Outstanding friendly service and delicious food as well. From the greeting at the door, with a menu handed to me and an explanation on how to order, I was ready to have a great lunch. The experience from this brand new quick service restaurant was great. The young staff was very eager to please and the food was super fresh and plentiful.

I am disappointed on this place. They seemed to be out of a lot of items on the menu and the food was less than impressive. I order a steak quesadilla, which they advertise as a “monster quesadilla” and it barely had any meat. I also ordered chips with queso and the queso was ice cold.

Is this meal really worth $20 plus dollars??? This is the second time that I gave this establishment a chance to get it right and they failed again. The crazy thing about all of this is that they forgot to add the additional protein that I ordered, there was no lettuce, tomatoes, or any other additional toppings I had to drive back to the store and get them. There was no I’m sorry for the mixup. Prior to this I ordered from Uber eats and they forgot to put the protein on my nachos. This establishment will not last if they do not get new management to clean up the internal issues.

My hubby & i tried it out the day it opened. Given this, i gave it leniency. Very helpful staff. Food was subpar, and much of the vegetarian options were not available. i ordered tofu nachos, and some stale chips were mixed in with fresher chips. Tofu was a nice flavor but would have opted for the avocado because tofu does not agree with me. Unfortunately, this was not available. Also our food was unfortunately cold. My hubby said his out of the three different tacos, the chicken one was the best. He had the ‘street corn as well- it was boiled. All in all, nice visit, but food was not on point. Thank you

I couldn’t wait to try this restaurant when I heard about it. Finally went in for lunch shortly after they opened yesterday.

This is the second time I went there and the experience was bad. I asked for their Pablo ranch to be added to my tacos in place of Mayo and it was not added to any of my tacos. The shrimpy the best was extremely salty being that it had nothing to counter the salt. The first time I went in it was the same thing.

We went for the grand opening and were not disappointed. The tacos were delicious and filling. And my picky son liked the ground beef burrito. Hand cut chips and verde salsa was YUM. Churros were also delicious as was the queso. The fountain sodas are great and lots of Capital choices. Just didn’t like the iced tea – tastes like fountain iced tea.
