Some noted
Really poor food management. Ordered online and got something completely inaccurate.
The food tastes great, but they are a subway style restaurant, where you get meat, bread, and then toppings.
The food was dry and bland and over cooked staff couldn't understand what i was saying and the food upset mine and my wife's stomach and was way overpriced and the drinks tasted stale and watered down.

I loved their food, fast casual colorful and flavorful. I don’t eat meat and there were so many options for me such as the vegetarian tacos and falafel sandwich. So many desserts too. It’s all zabiha halal. You can order online. Get their cheesecakes and horchata. Don’t miss the elotes! @chicagopescetarian
