I absolutely LOVE this place. Everything is delicious and fresh. The horchata is perfection. I can't get enough off the roasted vegetables! The restaurant is always clean and the staff is welcoming and friendly.

Pollo is on point! Great seasoning and awesome sides. Got a half chicken and the white meat was perfect! They went out of their way to help my family member with an allergy find something they could eat. They even went so far as to prepare her meal separately. Big thanks to Roberto and all the staff there!

Inside of restaurant was clean, employees seemed friendly. Food came out in a decent time as was on point as well. Did not get chicken but got chorizo tacos and they did not disappoint. Box appeal was nice and they had a nice selection of drinks. Any place that has coca cola with real sugar and no HFCS is always a winner in my book. Wish they had more locations near my area. Definitely remembering this if I'm ever in the area again.

Placed a to-go order, wait wasn't too bad given it was the dinner rush and it was a fairly large order (about 7-10 minutes wait). Can see the people making the food, they also have a few TVs to watch while waiting/eating. Street Tacos were fantastic (the carnitas were my favorite). The yellow sauce is delicious, very mild. Note: the plantains are sweet and not fried green plantains (both are awesome but was hoping for the green plantains, there was a miscommunication when I asked about them)
