Our lattes and matcha latte were smooth and well-crafted, and the pacing felt unhurried in the best way. Service was friendly without being overbearing, and it's the kind of place where you can linger with your coffee without feeling rushed.

The mochaccino was also not too sweet and had a good balance between coffee and chocolate, I could see why it was so busy on a Sunday morning so come early if you can :) There's a variety of seating (outdoor and by the fireplace as well) and the ambiance was lively.

Guac was super fresh, quesabirra broth was superb, and enchiladas were tangy and bright.

Parking is street parking, paid during day but free after 5pm and on weekends, can be tricky downtown but often will get lucky and get a close spot. Otherwise worth a little stroll to get there if you park further away. Accessibility: not currently wheelchair or mobile device accessible as there is porch stairs to get in.

I saw the 4.7 rating on Google and went in with pretty high expectations. Based on our experience…read moretonight, I was somewhere between 2 and 3 stars, but I'm rounding up to 3 because I'd rather leave constructive feedback than just trash a place. We kept it pretty simple: two burritos and an order of nachos. A few positives first. I really appreciated the cold carafe of water being dropped at the table right away without having to ask. I also loved the two hot sauces served in the short bottles. Being able to add as much heat as I wanted definitely helped the meal. The al pastor on the nachos had good flavor too--I could really taste the pineapple, although I think the meat would have benefited from a much harder caramelization. Unfortunately, the biggest issue was execution. The nachos were very sloppily assembled. The toppings weren't dispersed throughout the chips, so probably 40-50% of the chips were basically bare. There was very little brightness or freshness to the dish--hardly any pico de gallo, no salsa available, and things like pickled jalapeños or even a little chopped cilantro would have made a huge difference for pennies. Instead, it was mostly refried beans, meat, some partially distributed cheese, and a small squirt of sour cream. I ordered a side of guacamole for $6.50 and received what looked like maybe 3-4 tablespoons. That's pretty difficult to justify. The burritos were the biggest disappointment. They were served cut completely in half, which seems unnecessary for a dry, handheld burrito. It leaves you eating two open ends instead of being able to pick up a properly wrapped burrito and eat it normally. More importantly, they were incredibly dry. Looking inside, everything seemed piled into the center--rice, lettuce and protein--with very little pico or anything else to bring moisture, acidity or freshness. There isn't salsa available to compensate, either. I ordered a side of pico for another $5.50 and received maybe 1/4 cup. Even after adding that, I found myself using a ridiculous amount of hot sauce and salt just trying to wake everything up and add some moisture. The food also wasn't particularly hot temperature-wise. Service was okay but pretty middle-of-the-road. Our server got us started, but after that we barely saw him. They also don't offer a non-alcoholic beer, which was disappointing. Maybe we caught them on an unusually busy night or toward the end of a long shift, because the 4.7 rating suggests plenty of people have had much better experiences. But based strictly on what we were served, the food needs much tighter execution--better distribution of ingredients, more freshness and moisture, hotter food, and considerably better value on the add-ons. There were a couple of good flavors in there, particularly the al pastor, but overall this was a frustrating meal and not one I could rate higher than 3 stars.

This place is passable. Just ok. Today I got their grilled pork & springroll with rice (I…read moresubstituted the vermicelli, cuz I prefer rice). It was surprisingly bland. I've had tons of Vietnamese dishes from various places and the meat is usually super-well seasoned or marinated - this wasn't. On top of that, it was a considerably small amount of meat with a large portion of rice & salad. AND the tiny pieces of meat were hard and dry. Not served with any fish sauce either, so I drenched the dish in the Hoisin & Sriracha that was on the table. Only reason I'm not giving it a lower review is because I was here a few weeks ago and got the Special Shrimp Wonton Pho, and that was decent. Also a little on the bland side, but the portion of shrimp and wontons was generous. Lastly, the server was friendly, but once I got my dish, I was left alone for quite some time. Sat for a good while after I was finished, napkin in the bowl and everything, until I got up to ask for the bill myself. And the restaurant was almost empty, so they weren't too busy to check in on me... just unattentive, unfortunately.

We ordered the pizza roll and chicken and waffle. The pizza rolls were fun to eat and definitely tasted like pizza. It was too bad that there were only 3 rolls though. The chicken and waffle was different from what we usually have. This was half a waffle with a few pieces of fried chicken on top and a lot of fries on the side. The fries were so tasty but it was just too much for us to finish. The first bite of the chicken was a surprise as it was very salty. The sauce on top helped a bit but the saltiness was just overwhelming.
