received a very warm welcome from the host - she is the nicest and most helpful. all staff are super friendly. seemed like there were lots of regulars when we went, so that goes to show that the place is well-liked. our combination plates were between $16-$17; the tacos were bigger than your usual tacos/street tacos. the rice could be a bit softer. the "diablo" salsa, which what i enjoyed the most, was apparently made daily by different waiters, so you would know who made the salsa depending on the day you come when you become a regular diner.
Quirky place, amazing service! The only place that serves Fernando's burrito, which was fantastic. The Christmas lighting is really nice as well. A+ ???????????? Food : 5/5 | Service : 5/5 | Atmosphere : 5/5 Parking space Somewhat difficult to find parking … More
