So cheap and tasty, burritos beautiful (especially steak), not as sharp on the enchiladas, but its dead fast and tasty. Worth a visit, just before the Payday.

I could make a burrito with black beans vegan cheese salad Guac rice. There are other options, but you need to create them by subbing in vegan cheese.

Beans and cheese Burrito was good. It was an extra $1.25 for vegan cheese to swallow, but that's even cheaper than her meat Burritos. If you are looking for a f...

"Enjoyed the food but underwhelmed considering the hype of the restaurant. We were seated at at the bar overlooking the kitchen which was interesting viewing, but we were served from behind which was awkward and there wasn't much room for all the small plates. The corn bread was delicious! We also had the fresh catch (red snapper that day) which was pretty good and the butternut squash ravioli. The lamb osso bucco (giouvetti) had a weird cut of meat. Overall it was good but not amazing."

"Seating is tight and it's a hole in the wall but food was worth the travel from Maryland. We ordered the Margarita Pizza and the campeanelle. Service was great and accommodating. First off, the sauce. On point! It has a freshness and zest that brightens all their dishes. The zing of tomatoes made my mouth salivate as I am eating the food. Second, the pasta and bread. Perfectly cooked and are perfect vehicles for the sauce. The pasta had chorizo shavings on top which added a salty n smoky profile which was to die for. There was a perfect balance rather than an overwhelming oiliness I generally know of."

"We had a friend visiting last minute with her baby, who we haven't seen in a few years, so it was a last minute reservation for a large group, and the front end staff were so accommodating. The food took a little while to come out, but it was definitely worth the wait, and amazing, as usual."
