Bummed to write this as I love this spot and regularly get take out from here. The service is fast, has great plant based options and the flavor is spot on, but I can’t justify the smaller portions each time I stop by! Feels wrong paying $12 for a burrito slightly larger than a tiny bulk bag value frozen burrito. Relatively small hand for scale

Variable size of orders are through the roof. I ordered two days in a row, and the burrito was a full 1/3 smaller the second day ordering the exact same burrito. We’re talking to double digit pricing for a single burrito here.

That Baja taco is amazing. So glad to have a gluten free battered fried fish, and the sauce is perfectly sweet and spicy. Tinga was a bit bland for me but I would try other options.

I’ve tried this place a couple times and it’s mediocre at its best and that’s generous. Have to share this as it’s a bit sad for a place that is mostly empty. Today they made a quesadilla and it smelled so sour as in bad cooked cheese. I took it to the staff and she basically laughed as if she had no idea or I was lying about the problem. Her face said it all. No apology, additionally they offered to make with a different cheese- I agreed. What a sad quesadilla which is the easiest thing to make. I so wanted this place to be better as I live right next door. Don’t waste your money or time.

The food is good. We came in 35 minutes before closing. The food was going to take 20 minutes. We felt bad but they said it’s fine because there’s still a lot of people who actually ordered before us. Place is clean and tidy. I shall return!!

First time visiting this location. Loved everything about it. The cashier was friendly and gave us some great recommendations. We got a free refill on our aguas frescas. The food was tasty and the drinks were fantastic. Will definitely be back to try the ceviche.

Such a great restaurant! They have a great menu with lots of variety. They also have an extensive menu for vegan food and make it easy to substitute with any of their regular menu items. Definitely check out the plantain chips and guac as well as happy hour and taco Tuesday! Not to mention the atmosphere of the restaurant is very nice and the outdoor patio is beautiful!
