Food: Food hits, yet freshness dips

The gordita with carne asada is celebrated as the 'best damn gordita,' while the chicharrón con chile verde burrito stands out as superb. Despite some flavors being fresh and delicious, a notable drop in freshness and meat quality leaves diners questioning the overall experience.

  • Okay Quality

    Simple homemade meals, the aguas frescas are a highlight before commitment.

Vibe: Desolate atmosphere lacking buzz

The vibe resembles a deserted playground—empty tables linger and the ambiance feels flat. With no customers around, it’s hard to create excitement or a sense of community, turning what could be a lively experience into an awkward silence.

  • Great Drinks
