    a cup of coffee and a spoon on a table
    Leo Y.

    It's hard not to give a perfect rating to perfect service and a breakfast of delicious chorizo, fried eggs, a perfectly cooked hash brown, cuban toast, and cafe con leche, all for under $10 with tax and tip. Easy to find the place, ample parking, a takeout window, ample bar and table seating inside. This is getting bookmarked.

    Chicken taco salad. So good!
    Alejandro B.

    I finally got to try this place today, found from Yelp and yet again it didnt let me down. It had few reviews so I'm assuming they havent been around too long. However it was packed inside with what appeared to be regulars so I'll have to do more research on that. I've only tried their chicken taco salad so my review may change based on future visits but so far it's a 10/10. Inside was very clean. I only speak English and still got exactly what I wanted without having to point awkwardly or have a misunderstanding. The chicken taco salad was amazing! High quality and high quantity. The chicken didnt appear to have any fat and tasted great. Seemed like 2 chicken breasts- there was plenty and it was so good! Lots of lettuce, cheese, some tomato and plenty of rice and beans. I do wish it came with a hot sauce but I didnt request it either. Very good and I'd highly recommend it!

    I knew when I saw the 4.3 Yelp rating and hundreds of great reviews, this was the place !! And it…read moresure lived up to its expectations... actually, it surpassed them! The hardest part about dining here was deciding what I wanted to order. I could have ordered the entire menu it looked so good! Helpful tip... check out the menu and know what you're going to order before you get in line. Otherwise you're going to be pressured to order at the front of the line. When you walk in, you place your order and pay for it and take a table number. You need to find your own table. Our service was pretty quick, despite how busy the restaurant was. My cold brew was very good and a nice start to the meal. Our guacamole came next and it was nicely styled with pomegranate, cheese and cilantro on top. Yum! The real star of the show for me was this unassuming looking House Club Sandwich that was to die for. Seriously ... it was so good. I ordered mine without the ham, and it was divine! I wish i lived closer. I'm already dreaming of coming back. My son ordered some kind of short rib/beef burrito and it disappeared so quickly I didn't even get to snap a photo. This is a perfect spot to enjoy a great meal, I highly recommend it. One thing I can say is that it's on the pricey side. $113 lunch for 2 added up super fast but it was well worth it. I'll be dreaming of that sandwich til my next visit!

    I had been seeing a lot of great reviews about this place, so I was excited to try it, especially…read morethe tacos. I ordered the mahi mahi tacos, and while they tasted ok, the portion size felt pretty small for the price. Overall, it came across as a bit overpriced for what you get. The service style is more casual and self-directed. You order and pay at the register, get a number, and then find your own seat while they bring the food out to you. Water is self-serve, and once you're done with your meal, you just head out. There's minimal interaction with staff, which might appeal to people who prefer a more low-key, independent dining experience or want a place to sit and work without being interrupted. That said, the service did not feel very friendly or welcoming. And personally, I left feeling a bit underwhelmed.
