    Outside view from parking lot

    Small establishment with a private parking lot right off of Main st. They have Aguas Fresca (Jamaica, pina and horchata). Menu consist of grilled chicken, flautas, tortas, tacos, quesadillas, burrito (regular or smothered), and other items. The grilled chicken was mediocre didn't really have any seasoning, the beans were also pretty bland- it came with picked onions and hot sauce. Their hot sauce is pretty hot! Someone mentioned he enchiladas were good. But I would not return.

    Stopped in here for dinner tonight. I've been wanting to come here for so long after driving by and smelling them grill up the goods for a long time. Parking was easy. Store was pretty empty tonight unlike Thursday's when they have their main special going on. I got there half chicken meal to go. Had to wait maybe 12 minutes but it's nice to be able to walk around the grocery part of the store and watch them grill when your waiting. Food was piping hot after my 10 minute drive home. Best grilled chicken I've ever had, period! Beans, rice, tortillas, onions, and the jalapeño just add to the experience but all you really need is the chicken. I will tell everyone about this place and be a consistent customer for the future.

    Best grilled chicken in town! The food is always delicious from the chicken to the rice to the salsa. The staff is very friendly!

    Pretty bad in my opinion! Chicken was dry and tough! Beans were pretty good. The rice had a sour or fishy taste to me.

When looking at the menu, the prices were outrageous, but thought the food must be really good! The restaurant doors were locked when we arrived around 11:30, even though their website said they opened at 10:00. I like to support local restaurants but this one was horribly disappointing! We were the only customers in the restaurant and service was extremely slow. There was only one employee we saw, the one who unlocked the door for us and turned out to be our waitress. She was polite, but very slow in getting our drink order, food order, and ticket. I could have understood understaffing, but as mentioned, we were the only customers in the place. When our food came, I was almost embarrassed for our waitress. The food hardly filled our plates. I ordered a chicken dish where the chicken breast had been split in half. It was tough and hard to cut and and chew. It was maybe the size of a small burger, very small and about 1/4 of an inch thick! According to the menu description, it was supposed to be marinated. It tasted like the "marinade" was ketchup mixed with a little Tabasco. Other plates were very skimpy on food. Burritos and enchiladas were small and almost almost laid flat on the plates. I guess I could deal with it better if the cost was about ¼ of the price we paid. No drinks for 4 totaled, with tip, around $80.00!! Will never go to this place again! I typically don't do reviews but this experience was completely "over the top" bad in all areas. We all left feeling cheated, and hungry! Don't waste your money here!

    I was excited to try this food truck turned restaurant that recently opened in a familiar space…read more Inside, you'll find the mini-bowling alley and super cute pink decor that matches their trucks and Day of the Dead themed art. The large seating area is clean, and the ordering area is modern, with large menu screens. The food is formatted so that you select your protein variation and then a presentation, which could be a quesadilla, nachos, taco, sandwich, or bowl. If you really want more, you can select a side dish. We decided to try pork nachos and a birria quesadilla. The service was top-notch, and the staff was super friendly. Unfortunately, it was a big letdown. $15 nachos had very little pork but lots of convenience store nacho cheese sauce, which was not at all what I expected. They also were missing a mess of normal nacho toppings, and those that were on it were scarce. More than half the chips were dry. The quesadilla was unremarkable. The cheese used was not high quality, and it seemed average at best. Overall, I am disappointed as I would have loved to have found another option in Brighton. With the fun atmosphere and lots of TV, it would have been a good place to grab a bite, a beer, and watch the game or meet with friends. Hopefully, they get it dialed in or lower their prices to reflect the actual product.

That being said this being food truck, I still had to pay with a leg and half an arm for simple food to go, $17 an item. Simple service and not much else besides a snack. Food choices were chicken, pork or veggie. Bowl, tacos or quesadilla. We opted for a chicken bowl and pork tacos. Chicken bowl was small, basic, and topped with geen Chile's not really a a green chile. Food had an interesting citrus profile topped with cabbage, not a slaw. The pork tacos were a better of the two, being full of flavor and moist but drenching the single corn tortilla it was served in. By the end of the first taco, the other two were falling apart. Tacos were topped with cabbage again but all together, a very small portion filling for the tortilla being used. Overall food was edible. Not a coleslaw like labeled. Green chile was in fact just diced up green chile almost canned like. Small portions for the amount of paid. Would eat if I was hungry enough.
