    Carnitas Street Taco and Pastor Street Taco
    Kat V.

    Delicious tacos! Delicious torta! The food here is very tasty. Juicy pork in taco and juicy beef in torta and sandwich. They can be busy but the food come out quicker than I expected. Easy parking lot in front of the restaurant. I did not have a chance to try their pizza but their sandwich is delicious.

    First time here and all the food was fresh, made to order a delicious! Long line of regulars and first timers as well! Wanted to post menu and more photos for everyone to see! Our street tacos were amazing, the birria was perfect (I hate when it's too spicy or too much cinnamon) and my man devoured the enchiladas

    Menu

    3.5 stars the place is super clean, extensive menu that includes pizza wings apps as well as an extensive Mexican food menu. I like the abundance of options. I asked what a huaraches was and didn't really get an explanation. I stuck with two shredded beef tacos. $7.70. To add rice and beans drink would be almost $14 for the combo meal. My tacos were good, tasted fresh. BF ordered the chicken chimichanga al la carte. It came nicely topped but was heavy on beans vs chicken on the inside at almost $11 for just the chimi, not really worth what you're paying. Overall, The combo meals are pricey compared to other fast food Mexican joints near by. I am interested in trying this again and next time will go for a huaraches or birria. If the food tastes great - then the price is worth it.

    Chilaquiles, Huevos Rancheros

    Had a late breakfast here, sharing 1 chilaquiles and 1 huevos rancheros. This place is in a small set of shops in a suburban area but the food was really good and so was the staff. Everything was plentiful and tasty.

    Wanted to check out this new spot since I'm walking distance to it. At first I was doubting my decision since it's hard to find good food when a restaurant offers "fusion" style food. BOY WAS I WRONG! I ended up ordering the pizza for my son and I and it was far superior than I was expecting. Fresh ingredients. The inside also looked very clean and open to eat inside. Will definitely be coming back.

The hostess was very friendly and led us back to the community table near the bar. Our server/bartender was busy at the bar and taking orders. No smile, a no- nonsense personality which is fine, just not friendly at all. My husband and friend decided to do beer flights. They enjoyed except for one of the beers they said had no flavor. I opted for a Tito's dirty martini which is my favorite drink. They enjoyed the beer flights but unfortunately when my martini was delivered, I swore the glass hadn't been properly washed as it had a sweet, coffee taste. I let our server know and she immediately took it and said she would make another which was great. I did see her grab a new glass. Unfortunately the new martini tasted exactly the same. Almost like a terrible espresso martini with olive juice. It was not drinkable. Either she didn't know how to make a dirty martini or the olive juice or vermouth went bad. I couldn't stomach the drink and felt nauseous so left it. We ordered a Chef's Board. Cheese selections, plus pepperoni, salami, prosciutto, mixed nuts & fruits, olives and fig jam. They missed the nuts, fruit and olives. The meat and cheese were good but it was a basic board. We should have ordered the pizza instead as everyone around us had a pizza and it smelled delicious. Our first visit was not the best experience, however, we may give it another try and check out the pizza instead.

I don't know if there is parking specifically for this location but there was street parking. We went on a Wednesday night, so it wasn't too busy but I bet when Old Town is popping that parking could be a challenge. It was pretty busy for a Wednesday night but we only waited a couple of minutes for the server to seat us, and a couple of more minutes for the server to come over. My son got a sausage and pepperoni pizza and I got the Tuscan Veggie. It did take a bit for the pizza to come out and my son was a bit hangry but once it came out we realized it was so worth it -- although my Tuscan Veggie was pretty garlicky -- I was breathing fire after that -- luckily I didn't have anything else to do LOL. I also got the lemon arugula salad which was very tasty!! Besides the garlic breath and the bit of a wait, we were very happy and full when we left the restaurant. We will be back for sure.

The chicken was juicy and tender, lasagna was creamy but not too greasy, the rigatoni was full of flavors (spicy, lemony, and fragrant), and the fried seafood had a light batter. Not to mention the tiramisu - you could feel the coffee and mascarpone melted in your mouth immediately. I would say since this is a global chain, their Italian food is globalized in a way that some Italian tastes are gone. But still , you can tell the food is high quality and the chef put efforts in it. We also liked the Italian vibe in the restaurant - really bright and inviting. Overall, a great place to hang out with family and friends to get some Italian taste!

The real deal Italian from Naples! 2. Pizza was simple and very good 3. They have ricotta gnocchi (preferred over the heavy potato gnocchi) Cons 1. A lot of the food on the menu was very pricey. The pizzas and pasta without protein were a more reasonble price. 2. Very dark and empty inside the restaurant (this may have been because it was late).

Because the patio was all covered, and it was not but two tables with customers, the staff spent more time on their phones and drinking Starbucks rather than doing stuff or working behind the scenes. Our server was amazing. The rest of the staff who were waiting for customers to come in spend their time standing around and on their phone. For not having a lot of people in the restaurant, our water bottle was never refilled, our appetizer plates were not removed off our table before the guy came to put down two pies so I had to move plates around. It was almost like it was a burden us being there. The lady who was making the pizza, was in the kitchen, eating pizza... All visible from our table. The Alba pizza was amazing. The spinach dip was mediocre and you don't get much spinach dip for the amount of bread they give you. The fried raviolis are mediocre. The best part of this is if you're looking for a piece of pizza or a pie, the price point is decent. I would have upped the stars if the staff actually cared about the customers that were actually there to eat. This was the first time there for us and we probably won't be back.
