"First time ordering, I'll be back. The guacamole is fresh and bountiful. I’d guess about two full avocados had to be used. The chips were also nice and fresh. The ensalada is of humble ingredients and tasty. The ingredients were fresh, the jicama crunchy, and the dressing tangy. I’ll def re-order."

"Very chill and delicious spot for any day. Tacos are piled high with well seasoned fillings, plantains are cut like fries for easy eats, and the horchata is delish. There is outdoor seating for nice days 🔆"

"Guacamole serving is large, would order again. Great portions of protein in everything. Food tastes better than the photography skills! Order comes with a great hot sauce that complements the tacos and Guacamole Y Chips."
