Great food! Super friendly people. Had some bangers playing. Had food for my picky eater kids. Tacos 🌮 10/10 tacos are a little small but the price for the taco dinner is great!! All the prices on the menu is budget friendly and affordable. The highest prices meal I saw was about $22. The Salsa was so tasty! Burger and fries were 10/10. They also didn’t mind my loud kids. Will definitely be coming back!

this place literally saved my life. i was eating a Torta Cubana but because it was so good, i ate it so quickly that i started choking. one of the waitresses came to my rescue, she was literally my hero. shortly after that, a fire broke out across the street and the waitresses literally went in that burning building to save people. 10/10 experience, would choke again for them to save me.
