    Street taco special
    Ann P.

    I agree w most of the glowing reviews. Such a fun place to hang out! Went here for a somewhat spontaneous date night and we really enjoyed our food. Service was exceptional. We had the sweetest waitress and were checked on by most of the staff as well. They have specials and for Cinco de Mayo it was a taco one. The beef street taco was so good! I got one of these and 2 of the shrimp but wish I had just stuck w the beef. My elote was delicious too. Hubby didn't care for country fried steak or side dish at all. However we've enjoyed takeout from here before and their burgers were delicious so I would venture to say most of their menu is pretty good! The dessert was so delicious--ooey gooey butter cake and it definitely lived up to its name. I can definitely see myself going more often.

    Buenos Nachos (very tasty)

    The food was good. The service was great by bartender Nelson. We sat outside and the atmosphere was fun, it was bingo night!

    We came during and a&m baseball game so the place was busy and so loud. SO LOUD I almost asked my husband if we could leave. It's a small restaurant and bar so it's no fault of the restaurant of course. There's a patio but it's very very hot so we opted to stay inside. First time here obviously. I ordered the watermelon ranch water with mezcal. Omg so good and I'm so glad they have mezcal. Food I had the 6 piece salt pepper wings and the blue cheese salad wedge with candied bacon. Holy cow the salad was so good I literally closed my eyes and said out loud "omg this is so good I can literally eat this everyday!" My picky 8 yo liked it too. The wings were fat, juicy, perfect exterior perfect interior. I'd definitely be back probably ordering the same things. Maybe when it's cooler I'll sit on the patio where it's not so loud.

    So happy my husband and I finally got the chance to come here because it did not disappoint!! Benny, the General Manager, was so kind and checked in on us. Our waitress, Jessie was amazing, quick and helpful when picking things from the menu. Definitely recommend trying the wings and getting a watermelon margarita!!! They're both so so good!!! The food came out in a timely manner, which we loved. My husband and I both can't wait to come back and try out more!!

    Soooo we went back the next week. Very similar experience. Friday night. Worth it. Great nachos, great burger and my wife raved about the fish tacos. Service continues to be great. Honestly very pleased to have a place like this nearby.

    They do not serve hotdogs I repeat - they do not serve hot dogs!…read more They serve much more than that. I came here for an event and was surprised at how good and fresh the food was. The staff was so attentive and knowledgeable on all the foods. It's American food, but they do a lot of fusion, so there was something for everyone. My favorite of the night was the loco moco fried rice and the lemon cheesecake! The cheesecake was zesty and not overly sweet, which I appreciated because it let me taste all the distinct flavors going on. The curry chicken salad with chickpeas I know my husband would've loved, I ate it for him lol. I don't know what it was but the bottom of it had a dressing that made it very delectable. I was on the outside on the patio that had a large fireplace and it was so cozy, I can imagine it being very inviting during winter time. Even though I drove from Cypress to Richmond, it was worth the drive. The general manager was super friendly and I learned they have a Cypress location so you know where I'll be going!

    This was a very disappointing experience tonight, which is interesting because last time I came…read morehere it was amazing and over the top quality. First, tonight my family and I came into the restaurant and were not greeted by any hostess or employee for about 7-10 minutes. We understood though because everyone seemed to be in a rush since it was busy. We patiently waited then we were finally seated. Our server took our drink orders first as usual, got us our drinks then walked away. We waited a good while for her to come back since we were wanting to order an appetizer, and that took forever. Once we finally were able to place our appetizer order, it took another 10 minutes for it to come out. Again, we tried our best to be nice since it was busy. Now to the meals.. we put in our order for our dishes and proceeded to wait about 30-35 minutes. There is only 3 of us! Once everyone got their meals we realized it just.. wasn't the best. - My mother ordered a customized pick 3 meal, her roasted chicken sandwich didn't have any roasted chicken, she said it was all lunch meat? And her bread was as hard as a rock. The "truffle fries" that she had to pay extra for didn't have any truffle, when asked about it.. we were informed it was just truffle "oil". What. Lastly, she didn't even receive her soup. They forgot about it. We had to remind them about the forgotten soup for my mother to finally receive it. She said it was not even good. - My mediterranean chicken bowl was..okay, but I did notice that last time I was here I had a good amount of chicken. This time.. I had barely any chicken. We received 0 REFILLS on our drinks, so by the time we ordered dessert we couldn't even finish it since we were so thirsty and the chocolate was so rich. In the end, the rush died down so much where once we sat up to go we were wondering why service was still awful when no one was in the restaurant. The manager did come to apologize, both our server and manager were very nice. They decided to take off the sandwich from our bill and remake the sandwich and soup to go. Once we got home, my mother realized the soup in our to go package was actually the correct soup, and that at the restaurant she has no idea what soup they brought her. Overall, this experience tonight has been awful. We went home thirsty and hungry.
