Only complaint is I would've liked a bit more salt on the fries but like that is totally preference! The flavors of the pork, cilantro, and grilled pineapple really all complemented each other and took my mouth for a nice little food journey there. My girlfriend got the shrimp tacos, I had a bite of hers. One of the best shrimp tacos I've ever had! Even including living near the coast. The shrimp was seasoned so beautifully the flavors coming from the pico, cheese, and chipotle sauce were to die for. This food made me feel totally at home. 10/10 would recommend, I'll have to make it a regular place, this was my first time!

The food here is not your typical bar fare found at other places. If you're looking for something more than just burgers and fries and want a diverse, healthy menu in a clean and vibrant setting, then this place is for you. I recommend sitting at the bar on a Tuesday for the best experience.

The service was incredible, very friendly atmosphere, and the food came out very quick. We had never been here before, but we will definitely be back! read more The service was incredible, very friendly atmosphere, and the food came out very quick.
