Cute little place in Rozzie Square. You order at the counter. Tables and chairs are an eclectic mix like they went to the neighborhood secondhand store. I liked the vibe. Walls were vibrantly decorated. Food was good. My only complaint is that I couldn't see how to lock the bathroom door. Maybe s regular can tell me what i missed!

Had lunch here with my husband and it was delicious! I had a vegetarian burrito that had just the right balance of everything on it. The restaurant is clean, has a pleasant atmosphere, you can have a conversation, and service was good. Will come back. We came back and 4 year old declared: “we should come to this restaurant every day”.

Ordered the al pastor burrito and horchata. The horchata was the best I've ever had and the burrito was delicious. My Uber Eats take out order was ready in just about 10 minutes at lunch time.
