"This is it. This is the place you've been trying to eat at but didn't know! The place smells incredible. The food is beyond fresh and the people working here are the sweetest kindest and most incredible team. I didn't know what to order and I didn't have glasses on so I couldn't quite make out the menu. No problem! I just said what I kind of wanted and BOOM they made magic for my mouth. I wish I could give it 6 stars. I'm beyond impressed."

"Tried their shrimp burrito bowl and churros. Loved the churros. Very fresh and crunchy. Perfect balance of flavors. The burrito bowl was loaded with rice, salad, black beans and a few shrimp. Loved the unique seasoning of shrimp. The taste was good but there was too much rice. Would have loved sour cream and salsa picante on top as it was too dry."

"Unbelievably delicious food. Reminded me of the places I’ve eaten visiting my grandparents in Mexico. Flavor is fantastic, the two women working there were so lovely and friendly, our meal was filling and wonderful. Our new favorite spot in the neighborhood!"

"Really nice folks and good portion! Shrimp was very juicy and all the veggies were very fresh."

"Original rating: 3.5 New rating based on owner’s response: 3 I found this place because it had a full 5-star rating. I went on a Tuesday around 1pm. I’m not sure what I was expecting. But I definitely was expecting affordable. Tacos at $4.5-$5?! These tacos are the exact same price as manhattan. I am in PLG for a reason. Competitive prices, fine. Although I strongly disagree. There was one couple in front of me & I had to wait at least 15-20 minutes. I feel like that would have been justified if I saw a lot of online delivery people pick up theirs before mine. But I didn’t. The waiting time for tacos is just way too long for me (+ for $5 tacos). Consider adding music to feel a bit more homey and lessen the idea of waiting. Or say the waiting time before I order. It is a new spot so I’m not giving a 1-star. There are clearly areas of improvement. But, an oily taco for $4.5 with only meat, some onions and cilantro. That’s odd. Your competitors that are charging the same price have different toppings and are cleaner tacos. Consider at least adding pineapples to your short rib. I thought there would be at least avocado in it based on the restaurant name. I’m not sure if I recommend. But I recommend giving it a try in a few months. UPDATED: 9/14 based on owners comments - I've updated all mention of brisket to short rib. Clearly it was memorable that I already forgot what I ordered the next day. - Please note I added hot sauce, myself, not mustard to add flavor - I've removed this line "the owner seems nice based on the other reviews." based on owner's response "with so many places you have been should be ashame of yourself" - Replying to this specific comment "you took advantage of one of my chef that was burnt cooking your food and yet you took a picture of them while in pain how can you do that? just having funn by looking the other in pain waooo!" >> I took a video of my experience & waiting for 20+ minutes for 2 tacos that just had meat on them, two hours after it opened. As I previously mentioned as a new restaurant, I planned on visiting again in a few months. But that's no longer the case."
