It's located in a corner strip mall; parking was easy, though you might have a short walk depending on how busy it is.
Inside, the decor is clean, festive, and inviting. Ordering is straightforward, you can check out the large stand-up display or grab a handheld menu. While the menu isn't huge, the options are intriguing. I opted for a customizable bowl ($12+), picking shredded beef, rice, black beans, plantains, and avocado.
The highlight of the service was definitely the robot server that delivered my meal to the table! After grabbing my container and tapping "Done" on its screen, it played a cute sound and zipped back to the kitchen.
The food itself was a solid win on flavor. Even though I ate in, the meal was served in a to-go container, and a couple of items needed sorting (the avocado had black spots, and one plantain piece looked a bit off). Once I set those aside, the rest was delicious. The flavorful beef, great rice and beans, and perfectly sweet plantains.
Overall, it's a fun, satisfying alternative to typical fast-food chains. If looking for something slightly different then the norm that won't break the bank, this is it. To be truthful, I was wondering why they were so empty/lacked customers.
