“Amazing food and service. Love la tampiqueña (left) and the enchiladas with carne asada (right). Also their burgers and chicken club sandwiches are delicious. I'll post photos of those next time I go there.”

“I ordered a Hawaiian burger with a blueberry shake yesterday through Postmates. It was deeelicious! Nice and juicy 😋 it was grilled and it had a good sauce. You can taste the sweet pineapple. The blueberry shake was good too. Naturally made and it tasted healthy. It was my first time ordering from here and I’m definitely going to order again soon.”
