During a beautiful sunny day, I stopped by with my family. We got some food and drinks! All the food was super fresh, colorful and picture perfect and even better, it tasted delicious too! I had the spring salad, which was a special going on. It was good, but I'd say it had a little too much black beans but regardless I loved it. I also loved the carrot habanero sauce it was unique and so good! My drink was really good too. I had a house margarita and I noticed on their menu they serve pichers which I'd definitely love to try with a few other people in the future!

Because I had a long drive I heated the soup up when I got home and it was excellent. The quesadilla was also amazing. Even better than the first time and not nearly as greasy.

Worth a stop for a delicious meal!

Nonetheless they got the food out pretty quickly, maybe 10 minutes for the first dish. If you like Kimchee, get the 3 kimchee sampler. It's easily enough for 3 to share, likely 4 or 5. We were only two and thus couldn't finish it. All 3 varieties were pretty good. They were flavorful and not overly spicy. I tried pork belly and grilled shrimp tacos. 2 tacos is about right for a meal as far as I can tell. A small person might get away with only one but it wasn't enough for me. I loved the pork belly taco. My son had a burrito bowl which he thought was decent. It's an interesting fusion of 2 cultures, which I liked and would return to try again. My son was not as impressed, and probably won't be back. I would recommend it.

We stopped in after getting coffee at Palace Bakery. It piqued my interest and my sister said she'd…read morebeen curious about the place for a while, too. The restaurant was really clean, and there were plenty of booths and tables. There's a register at which you place your order. The prices seem a bit high. The food was good; I'm not sure what my sister thought of her pork belly taco, but the guacamole and tao salad I got were excellent if a bit disappointing. I know that sounds confusing! The guacamole was like $7 for a small container, maybe like a two ounce portion cup? It was good and there was a lot of lime, but that's truly wild for such a small amount. They gave us about three times as many chips as would be necessary for that amount. As for the taco salad, again it was good (and the Korean-Mexican fusion comes in here in that the chicken had some kind of sauce on it, akin to teriyaki sauce), but they gave NO hint that because our order was to go, it wouldn't be in a taco bowl. What???! I don't know about anyone else, but one of the things I love about a taco salad is that crunch along with the salad fillings. If she'd told me that by ordering to go it wouldn't have come with the bowl, I wouldn't have ordered it. It also feels like a real scam to charge folks the same for a major part of the item that they're not getting. They should be charging less for a to-go salad if they're going to pull that kind of nonsense. Hence the three star rating. Good food, but questionable practice. No dedicated parking, but there's street parking around or a paid lot across the street on the southwest corner of Broadway & Pearl.

Overall it was very satisfying and well worth the price. It looks like they have branched out and now have a dessert/snacks cart.

Additionally the chips were unfortunately stale and served cold. Unfortunately, my experience was marred by the customer service, which left much to be desired. From the phone call to placing my order to the interactions during pickup, the staff seemed disorganized and unhelpful. While the quality of the food did redeem the experience to some extent, I believe that a restaurant's treatment of its customers is equally important. Given this experience, I'm hesitant to return to a place that doesn't prioritize excellent service.

She gave us chips and salsa as well as our water the moment we sat down. We ordered from their Happy Hour menu. We got the Best of Nelson's Sampler for $15.99, Nelson Burrito for $9.99, and Carne Asada Fries for $10.99. Food came all at once. Felt the Best of Nelson's Sampler was not worth the $15.99. The sampler came with one soft taco, one hard taco, two taquitos, and one enchilada. The beef was dry and hard. The burrito was really dry and we had to ask for sauces. Our waitress gave us a red and green sauce. The red sauce was really spicy. The green sauce was mildly spicy and went well with the burrito. The Carne Asada Fries was good, but the ink from the liner transferred to the cheese. Overall, it's a good place to hang out. Food wasn't great, but service was fantastic. If we had to come back, we would probably get a wet burrito to try.
