PREVIOUS REVIEW: 3 STARS NEW RATING: 5 STARS
I'm very happy to report that the cooking methods have improved here. I've had fresh grilled steak, plancha griddled eggs, and (air) fried chicken cutlets that didn't go near the microwave the past few times I've visited.

I also got a passion fruit aqua Fresca which hit the spot. There is indoor and outdoor seating which is nice when the weather is nice but people mainly...

Update: After coming here a couple more times after, it has been hit or miss, i guess depending on whos working that day. Ordered a burrito three different times, one time it was falling apart, second time was perfect, and the last time it was missing the guac. Paying $15 i expect some consistency, $15 is not...
