I will now say that after the second visit, I am beginning to see this restaurant as a potential favorite. I tried the Pupusa Revuelta and a Fruit Punch Agua Fresca (Described as pinapple piña, watermelon sandía, and lime limón). The Pupusa was excellent. Never had one before, but it reminds me of a cross between a burrito and an empanada. Love the pickled cabbage and the hot sauce that comes with it. It all pairs excellently. The Agua Fresca was good but not my favorite flavor combo. I think I'd like it to be a bit tart or sour. Service was very friendly again and much quicker this time (also a lot less busy). Great experience, and I will keep coming!

Tried them for the first time for lunch.
Really dig the hip hop and 90s/00's vibe. Reminds me of growing up, except with an L.A./West Coast flare.
The birria tacos were outstanding. Nice crispy tortillas, cheesy, and rich, flavorful beef with a wonderfully paired broth for dipping. The hot sauce they served with it was quite spicy along, but well balanced in small doses with the tacos.
Their Jamaica Agua Fresca was very delicious as well, great refreshing drink pairing. Not sure how to tell if it's homemade or the storebought stuff from powder, but all I know is this one tasted better than any I've had.
My only negative is that the service, although friendly was a bit slow. I, will say though, that they had two fairly large parties ahead of me and the birria tacos take a bit more prep work, so I can't really say it was all on the restaurant.
Ultimately, loved the food, the vibe was my style, and the service was very friendly. I will definitely return and can't wait to...
Read moreIf you found this place online and are wondering if it’s worth it, my answer is yes. My two cents, come during happy hour. The prices are great. Only thing that rubbed me the wrong way was that apparently we had to sit at the bar, even though other people were seated at regular tables and had the ONLY happy hour menu. Guess that rule only applied to us for some reason.
Other than that, service was quick and to the point. Bartender was on it and checked up on us regularly. We went with the smash burger and honestly, it beats every other burger spot around here. Not bad at all for a place that does a little bit of everything. The burger was juicy, two patties, melted cheese, pickles, and their signature sauce. We got the fries too. They were a little salty but tasted great, like they added some kind of seasoning magic instead of just salt like most places.
The atmosphere was a little loud. Music could be a bit lower so people can talk, but it was not a dealbreaker. The place looks really clean and modern for a Latin food spot. It actually kept my eyes wandering around. They nailed the interior.
I usually try new places and avoid going back to the same one, but I love smash burgers and for the happy hour price, this place won me over. I’ll be coming back every...
