I was extremely disappointed in the quality of food. I ordered the fries and they were not fresh so I requested a new order. My waiter(Enaja) was the best part of my experience. I ordered the 2 tacos and both were extremely salty. The location and environment is trendy and clean but I wouldn’t come for food.
The hostess was welcoming & very pleasant! Our server, Trace, was so kind & personable & very helpful with the food choices! The food, ahhh, the food was so good!!! We started with the crispy Brussel sprouts! They were indeed crispy & that sauce in the bottom of the bowl was soooo good!!!! My husband & I shared the taco platter, 5 tacos & our 2 sides were sticky rice & fries! The sticky rice had no flavor until my husband added the consume' for the birria tacos! That made the rice real good! The fries are delicious!! We also had the baja fish taco, and my hubby liked it, but to me it had no taste, no seasoning, but if you add any of the different flavors of hot sauce, they did help! The hot sauces are so good!!! We also had the birria tacos we substituted the pork with chicken & these are ALWAYS so yummy!! Our favorite taco was the prime rib!!! No need to add anything it's delicious all on it's own!!!
The chicken and waffles were delicious, and I liked the poke bowl a lot, too. The lychee margarita was good. They had a lot of drafts on tap, and the waitress was really nice.
