This is great option for grabbing a bite to eat with your friends. We found this place just by walking by ! They have a good option of 3 tacos for $8 on Taco Tuesday so couldn’t pass that up! Honesty it was so cute inside it was hard not to take a photo. I love the way it’s decorated. Very tasteful. I liked 2 out 3 of my tacos so I was pretty satisfied about that . The guacamole here was great ! They have water available to all with mason jar glasses to sip from . Also there is a chill bar inside with lots of wine options! Margaritas are $5 on Tuesdays.

Really wanted the vegan options to taste amazing, but they were just OK. My friend enjoyed his regular chorizo burrito. Small portions, almost like tapas but sufficient in the end thanks to thick tortillas.

Love this restaurant! Delicious flavors, with a vegan flair, and you can add protein! I am huge fan of their cauliflower Spanish rice, it’s to die for! Good specials during happy hour on weekdays, and a great location near classic Mill avenue. They have the next chips and guac, be sure to get the crispy plantain chips over the traditional chips, you won’t regret it!

I have gotten several really good taco salad here, and it it very nice that they have gluten-free and dairy free options. However, their quality is very spotty. After several very good taco salads, I decided to try one of their bowls and the rice was so over cooked and blown out it was almost uneatable. When I went back, I decided to stick with the taco salad and I got lettuce that should have been thrown away instead of served to a customer! Unfortunately, since it was take out, taking it back was out of the question. Will not be going back because I can not trust their food quality.

I don’t usually eat Mexican food in the US but this sparked my curiosity for its unique modern take on it. For a modern cuisine restaurant I ordered a conservative taco option with a side of tortilla soup. The tacos had really enjoyable flavors that complimented each-other nicely and the soup tasted authentic. I believe they understand the flavors and techniques in Mexican cuisine well and I hope to try other stuff. On another note I was sadly greeted with racism on my first visit, this did not stop from enjoying my meal but I hope something changes.

The food was absolutely delicious. You can tell the ingredients are of better quality than some quick fast food chain. I loved the adobo tofu and the street corn bowl together. A bit of their hot sauce and the meal is lit! !

Good and healthy food and fast service. I’m a regular here and my go-tos are the spicy chicken soup with achiote chicken and spicy cilantro verde with diablo chicken.

Nice place with excellent food. Lots of vegan and gluten free options. Although it was pricey – $60 lunch for two with tip – the food was delicious! And they didn’t skimp on portions. The avocado toast was loaded with fresh avocado! We ordered the guiltless gluten free quesadillas. They are very filling! I would have taken a box home, but my son was able to bat clean up! Both my son and I loved the place!

After I eat their chicken burrito I put on overalls and watched Deliverance. There is Nothing Mexican or ethnic at all about this Burrito. It taste like they poured an entire bottle of wine on the meat This seems like something Duck Dynasty would eat. This is not Mexican food this is white entirely. The Asian girl at the counter was nice. They put her there to attract old White men now it makes sense.
