We've had takeout several times and the food has been wonderful. You call when you get to the restaurant and they bring out your takeout order (wearing a mask).

We absolutely love the flavors this place creates. They're one of our staples. An unusual thing happened tonight where they gave us a wrong entree on a take-out order. I called and they gave a few options, one of which was to deliver the correct entree to us. I thought that was very generous of them. When I was finally able to taste what I had originally ordered I was blown away by the flavors. I had their steak special. The chimichurri sauce is the best I've ever had. Try the strawberry Margherita too. We're glad to have Co... read more

This is really more of a 2.5 rating. I REALLY want to love this place. I was so excited for it to open. We dined in twice pre-covid, and the ambiance is gorgeous, definitely 5 stars for ambiance alone. The drinks are also very good--although quite pricey for the tiny size. The food, both times we dined in was very "meh." Definitely nothing to write home about. I was willing to chalk it up to "new to the scene and working the kinks out." We have since ordered several times during quarantine, wanting to support local busi... read more

We recently discovered this place and ordered pick-up (due to COVID-19). The staff member who answered the phone was courteous and very helpful. We ordered the cauliflower curry, pupusas, chorizo taco, and mushroom veggie taco. The food was quick and we picked up 10min after the call! Woot! Curbside pickup went smoothly. We really liked the curry and pupusas. Chorizo taco was a little bland (a squeeze of our own lime helped). But the mushroom veggie taco was good. FYI: The curry description mentioned "sweet potato rice" ... read more

Highest quality ingredients cooked with imagination and flair. Abundant, delicious and good price. Great big guac with home made chips just $8. Delicious Pazole soup with several add-in ingredients in separate container. Tacos bursting with tasty ingredients -- more than the tortillas can hold. Will be back for sure -- before long.
