    When this place first opened, I thought it was an awesome addition to the West Mobile area. I ate…read morehere several times a month because of the quality and price point. What I loved about this restaurant was that it was a more authentic Taco Mama. The portions were awesome, the flavors were phenomenal, and it was so customizable. You could build your own burrito, nachos, or tacos, with whatever protein or toppings, for one price. I liked the variation of meats available. From what I can remember, they offered fried and grilled shrimp, fish, grilled chicken, etc. Lastly, they had a SALSA BAR, similar to Moe's, but better! They had a wide range of unlimited salsas and sauces to go on your entree. Because of these options, this place was my favorite Mexican restaurant in the city. Now, however, my opinion has changed for the worse. Imagine my disappointment when I came to this restaurant this week, and learned that they now function like a regular, smegular Mexican restaurant where the host has to seat you at a table, you get a tiny portion of salsa and chips, and have to choose from preselected menu options such as a boring plate of nachos for $20 that you have to pay extra for if you want it "deluxe"... it's absolutely ridiculous. There are enough Mexican restaurants in Mobile that offer that. What I liked about this place was that it was a different concept, and allowed you to have your meal YOUR way. If costs were the issue, I would've been ok with the price increasing to keep the menu the same. Now that this functions as a regular Mexican restaurant, why would I choose it over the others??? The good things I can say about this place, is that the food is not as flavorful, but still good, the wait staff is pleasant, and the ambiance is pretty cool. But I probably won't be returning if they don't ho back to the previous concept.

    What a great experience! Wow where to START!?! From…read moreordering to food arrival MAY have been 5 mins max it was SO FAST. The booth was very clean and so spacious. The food??? FRESH. FLAVORFUL. Large portions! The chicken was actually JUICY and not overcooked/dry like some other places. The workers are all so polite. And I love the salsa bar! (Tried the avocado, verde and chipotle salsa) The ONLY thing I wish this place had was a drink dispenser station with aguas frescas instead of the usual soda fountain. But even still it was a great experience. We absolutely will be back! Note: you order at the front and pay for your meal, get a number and then take it to you table. The servers will then deliver the goods

    This is an amazing piece! I just happen to be exploring near University of South Alabama. It just…read morehappens to be across the street from the USA. It was highly recommended. I can see why. To be honest, it doesn't seem like a normal dessert cafe. After experiencing the world class desserts and staff. I was surprised to know all the desserts are made fresh daily. As to many places import them in. The signature gelato is the saffron flavor. Very tasty. They said it was their signature and first flavor they made. If you do not know, Ice cream is airier than gelato and has a higher fat content while gelato is softer and packed with flavor. Both contain a lot of sugar, but gelato is traditionally made with less fat. My understanding, ice cream is made with cream and gelato is made from milk. They just do not just offer wonderful gelato. They do Turkish delight, baklava, Macarons, and etc. all made fresh daily. I did not try them all, only had the Turkish delight, saffron gelato, hot jasmine tea, and the coffee Affogato. The coffee Affogato is great flavor but not overwhelming enough to put you off the taste of coffee. But you definitely taste the coffee flavor. More like a coffee with cream and sugar taste. I took pictures of the gelatos but decided not to because i did not take a picture of right away. It kinda melted. So I did not post them. The tea has a strong jasmine tea flavor and the Turkish delight is very soft and very sweet and chewy. I sampled the chocolate Affogato. If you are big into dark chocolate. I definitely recommend this. It is very delicious! Just too rich and delicious my palate. They have some wonderful seating outside and inside. They do offer free Wi-Fi and some board games if available. The seating area is comfortable and good spot to relax and unwind. Especially if you just want something sweet and quiet place to get away. Definitely recommend this place if you are in the area! If not, make a day trip out of it. I do not know if they have any other places in the Mobile area. But the nearest place west is in New Orleans. I heard that they might have a spot in Pensacola? But do not hold me to it. You will not be disappointed! In my opinion.
