I got chicken tacos that comes with onions and cilantro and I added tomatoes and cheese and everything was the bomb frfr. They tasted like the location I tried previously in Burbank near Ford city area and to me that speaks volumes that they are true to their ingredients and recipes all across the board. This was also a very nice and clean establishment and the atmosphere was bright and good energy and Greeshma was very friendly and nice! They have a patio as well." **ARRYY B —** "The tacos were absolutely delicious! Fresh ingredients, great flavors, and perfectly made. The taste was on point and the quality really stood out." **Kashmere "Kash" Haynes —** "The young lady was super nice and warm. The food was great! Very reasonably priced. I will be going back!" **Steve Wang —** "Shrimp tacos, tortillas, green sauce and guacamole was surprisingly good. Atmosphere lacking. Service could be better. Enchiladas... some of the least impressive I've had and price was high. Nachos were ok. So averaged out 3 out of 5." The reviews paint a clear picture — the tacos are the strength here. Fresh ingredients, cilantro and onion done right, great shrimp. Staff gets called out by name for being friendly.
