The environment around this establishment was all right but when it comes to the menu and the cleanliness or rather I should say that organization of the restaurant it felt very underwhelming to say the least. The vegetarian option was kind of laughable to be honest who makes a burrito with broccoli and cauliflower and carrots and basically nothing else inside It was very dry. the ceviche that I had was very well presented so I give them points for that but the chunks were rather large and I could definitely tell that it was bottled lemon juice rather than fresh squeezed lemon juice or lime juice. If you're going to charge the prices that you charge I'd consider swapping to fresh food rather than bottled ingredients. The chips and salsa that came out at the beginning were very exciting to us and fell flat the moment we dipped our chips into the salsa It's basically a very very runny tomato sauce with close to no extra flavor no chunks no nothing. I think this place has potential because I can tell that the chef wants to put effort into the presentation of the food I think it just needs a little pick me up and this place is well on their way to success hopefully you guys will be on the rise I'll give you guys a chance in the future. But thank you for the service everybody...

Do not go here… I went here tonight and had the worst experience with the waitress. Her name is Joseline.
They charge you different a different price then what it is on the menu. They also charge you an automatic gratuity tip even for a party of 2. When I asked her why that was charge she just removed it and then placed the bill at the corner of the table without handing it back. It was at the other side where I was sitting at.
Extremely immature. I got only 1 coke, 2 pina coladas without alcohol and an orchata and it came out to almost 32 dollars.
Please compare your bill with the prices on the menu as they do not match.
The attached photo is after I asked her to remove the gratuity since she billed it...
