From my very first visit, I was hooked. Initially skeptical, wondering if my initial good experience was a fluke, I have been pleasantly surprised week after week.

The menu, though I've barely scratched the surface, seems to dance through a symphony of flavors, each taco a masterpiece of taste and texture. The ingredients are always fresh, the combinations thoughtful, and the execution flawless. This is a place where you can sense the passion and care that goes into every dish.

There's an undeniable sense of community and customer service that makes you feel like more than just a customer; you feel part of a family. The staff mirrors this attitude, making every interaction, every order, and every visit feel personal and valued.

It's not just a place to eat; it's a destination for those who appreciate the finer details of dining out. For me, it has become a staple, a place where I can reliably find comfort, joy, and, most importantly, fantastic tacos.

Owner tried giving me grief for his mess up. I called in an order for a spicy taco and a carne asada taco. I go get my order, come home, open the bag and there's a spicy taco and carne asada dinner. No carne asada taco. I did not order the carne asada taco dinner let alone the carne asada dinner.

I call back and explain the situation. The server was extremely kind and helpful. She said she would get my carne asada taco and my refund for being charged the carne asada dinner. No big deal. Mistakes happen. I go pick it up and ask about the refund and the owner tries mansplaining to me on what carne asada is and how to properly order next time. I order carne asada tacos from spots all over the neighborhood with zero problems.

Carne asada means grilled beef. I ordered a carne asada taco. A grilled beef taco. You gave me a carne asada dinner. You obviously didn't hear me say taco. And that's totally fine. Mistake happen. But to try and blame me for your mess up is annoying enough for me not to support your business any more. Plenty of other great restaurants to spend my money at.

I'd start practicing reading the order back to the customer to avoid issues like this moving forward.

You could have literally said nothing and I would've had a great experience with you guys but you had to open your mouth and say something stupid. Next time something like that happens just swallow your pride...

All of the food was really good. I was pleasantly surprised by their chips and habanero salsa.

Their habanero salsa is white. It looks vaguely like a sauce for fish tacos. I thought it was added to our order by accident.

It's almost sweet at first, kind of vinegary. It makes you think to yourself, "This is really interesting, but is it salsa? Maybe I was supposed to put it on the..." Then, you draw a blank.

You dip another chip...

You're definitely intrigued. At this point, the salsa has lulled you into a sense of security, so you go in for a hefty scoop.

This is when it hits. And it's definitely too late:

Naivity is no longer an option. Life is pain now. It's all your fault.

As the pain crescendos and begins to become unbearable, the wave breaks. The salsa is merciful. But, things are different.

Ignorance is no longer yours to claim. You are fully aware of the consequences. This is on you, now.

For reasons you can't quite understand or justify, you reach for another chip. Free will no longer seems to be a factor.

The salsa will save you. The salsa will hurt you. There is only salsa.
