"I order carryout often from all over the country. This place is spectacular! If I was going to order one item repeatedly, Mexi-Cali Shrimp Taco without a doubt! This is one of the the freshest, most flavorful things I've ever eaten! This place is farm to table fresh. The chimmichurri steak is also very delicious, buttery, tender melt in your mouth! And, don't miss the rocks margarita it's the best!"

"Best vegan/plant based tacos. You can’t go wrong with any of the them. All of them are delicious in their own way. Portion sizes are great, 2 tacos are filling."
