Rolled and deep-fried into savory balls of heaven) next best, while I found it to be a little dry and Taki-crumbles overtook the taste. Still good! -The Meji Glizzy (12″ Beef hotdog wrapped in jalapeno and bacon on a bun with mayo, slaw, cheese, onion, cilantro, guajillo sauce, avocado, caramelized onion, and potato straws) was a delicious take on a hot dog, if a little messy. -The Ranch Waters were light and refreshing, as they should be.

Hands down, the best I've ever had. Everything was fresh, seasoned perfectly, and had that homemade touch that you just don't get everywhere. I told the owner right then and there I'd leave a review because the service was just as good as the food. We ended up talking for close to an hour -- he was genuinely kind, super humble, and clearly cares about both the food he makes and the people who walk through his door. It felt less like a restaurant visit and more like catching up with an old friend. If you're ever in the area, do yourself a favor and stop by. This place is the real deal -- good people, great food, and an experience worth sharing.
