1- PreCovid btw- coworker and i went in one night for food and much needed drinks. Not sports season so it wasnt packed, nor was it too late in the day, approx 545/6pm. It was just us and another table of 2. Since drinks was the goal, we sat at the bar. We sat there for a solid 15 minutes before someone came by to give us water. After that, she asked if we were getting food. We both responded yes and she then indicated that someone else will be taking our order, then went to help someone who came in to pick up their take out. Okay..? Bartender comes up and takes our drink order, gets our drinks and then comes back to take our food order. Maybe 30 mins or more passed before we got our food. Again, it was us and one other table who was already in there prior to our arrival. Finally - food. The tacos were pretty damn good! Fresh, not frozen, and nicely seasoned. Also got their lemon pepper chicken tenders which were CRACK. Dry and crunchy on the outside (in a good way) and super juicy inside. Bartender did occasionally check up on us and ask if we needed anything. After the food, drinks, and chatting, we paid and left. Also, ordered takeout for my bf and threw my 2 tenders in the box so he could try their goodness when i got home. His eyes widened when he crunched down on the tender and noticed how juicy it was. One bite had him reeling for more. Next time. So minus the long wait and hunting someone down, the food was pretty good and drinks were strong - also a plus. I said id def come back.
2- during covid but before the shutdown - called in with my bf to try and get some of those insane tenders. Phone kept ringing. Called 2 more times, same thing. Finally, one last try, and someone picked up. "Id like to place an order for takeout please?" The woman responded with: "we dont do takeout." ...ive literally seen a person go in to get takeout...? I replied with "ok no problem. Thanks!" Defeated and confused, we didnt end up getting game time that night and had to settle for something else.
3-reopening during covid&most recent- called in on a friday night for takeout (yes, i tried again since i saw some1 go in and it didnt make sense to me that they "dont do takeout") We placed our order and the girl read it back to us - perfect. 25 minutes. We get there and see that it was a super busy night for them! Dark inside but you can see people inside, trying to slip past each other, to have drinks and enjoy their night. Anyways, we came out with 2 bags of food and somehow the bill came out to $97. We ordered 2 orders of tacos - 1 chicken and 1 carnitas - (comes with 3 in an order), tenders, buffalo wings and fries. Girl got our order wrong bc we somehow had 2 bags with 3 orders carnitas and 2 orders of chicken. Thats 15 tacos total. We were fine with the extra food but also like WTF. Again, tacos were pretty darn good. Fries were a bit sad. Bland. Bf's a stickler for fresh wings. He can eat spicy/hot food but, this time, he had to take a break. The buffalo sauce was flavorful and intense and i mean that in the best possible way. Needless to say, he approved of the wings for its freshness and for the buffalo sauce. My tenders.... not sure what kind of oil it was fried in but dang was it oily, like glistening and shiny. There was a pool of oil in my container. Despite this, i still tried them because their tenders were crack the first time i had them. Oh man... it was like eating oil. I didnt realize how much the oil had permeated the tenders crunchy exterior. Still crunchy, still had the lemon pepper flavor, but overshadowed by the excessive amount of oil and the flavor of the oil. Maybe canola? Idk. I'd still order from there... but maybe not takeout anymore since my order was so screwed up so maybe we'll just have to go in.
