BABALU® - Overton Square

What a cool and bright spot to celebrate after graduation. Our party of 8 couldn’t be seated immediately so we waited at the bar which was a good start to the experience. They had a good selection of local beer on tap, the 201 Hoplar IPA (my favorite) was a perfect balance of hops and fruit. Others in the party liked the sangria flights, mixed drinks, and the custom frozen margaritas. When we were seated we started with the table side guacamole, made to perfection and possibly the best tasting guacamole I have ever had, witness the destroyed bowl below. Our entrees were all extremely tasty. The Cubano sandwich was full of meat the star being the pork belly and the braised short rib grilled cheese was a flavorful blend of meat, cheese, and aioli. Our only complaint was the grilled sandwiches came out under or over cooked cooked, thus the 4 stars. Everything else from the breakfast burrito to the street taco had unique flavor profiles and were executed very well. Another big hit

Pretty good, I had a selection of tacos and they were not as hot (temperature) as I would have liked. The melted cheese and guacamole appetizers were delicious.

First time here! Not impressed! Came for late lunch birthday celebration! Tons of staff present, yet we waited for service and was assigned to a table of a staff who had already left for the day! Weird Although the food was good, the prices are way too much for the size of the tacos, sides and burgers. The drinks were good, so it made up for it! Considering this location wasn’t packed, I would’ve expected the floors, tables and chairs to have been clean… it wasn’t ???? Better customer service, better prices and a cleaner establishment would’ve made our visit 5 star ⭐️
