Reliable fast-casual burritos, bowls, and fish tacos with a lively bar and patio; great customization, but service consistency, portions, and parking can frustrate.
Restaurant Summary
On South Broadway, this fast-casual spot buzzes with a full bar, sports on TV, and a patio that locals reclaim in good weather. Service warmth is often praised—“they fixed my order right away”—though lines and parking headaches do crop up. However, there are some review authenticity concerns suggesting certain reviews may be solicited or influenced. The cooking leans comforting and customizable rather than flashy: build-your-own burritos and bowls, queso-smothered options, and notably crisp fish tacos that many rave about. Vegetarians and vegans fare well with plant-based proteins and a dairy-for-guac swap, while green chile and salsas keep regulars engaged. Families do fine here thanks to familiar kid-friendly choices—quesadillas, tacos, bowls, and a kids size—plus quick counter service. Portions satisfy most, but a few diners found them smaller than expected; budget around $25-30 per adult for a full meal in USD.
