Excellent service from the moment I walked in! I was welcomed with a smile and lots of patience, especially since it was my first time at the restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious, made with super fresh and high-quality ingredients. And to top it off, I had a margarita that was simply amazing. I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommended!

I recently had the pleasure of trying a Mexican food bowl, and it was a delightful blend of vibrant flavors and textures. The bowl was a colorful medley of fresh ingredients, starting with a base of fluffy cilantro-lime rice that provided a zesty foundation. On top of that, tender, seasoned grilled chicken added a savory depth, perfectly complemented by black beans that were rich and hearty. What truly set this bowl apart was the variety of toppings. The portion size was generous, making it a satisfying meal that left me feeling full but not overly stuffed. Overall, this Mexican food bowl was a flavorful, well-balanced dish that I would highly recommend. It’s a perfect choice for anyone looking for a healthy yet indulgent meal that captures the essence of Mexican cuisine.

Got the chicken bowl and loved it! This place is kinda like chipotle where you just pick the rice, meat, and whatever else you want in it. They also have drinks that you can order if you want!

The best veggie rice bowl I’ve had. The food was so fresh and most of all tasted fresh! Get their Cilantro Aioli and guacamole it’s like double cherry on top. Soooo good!
