I have been going here for years. The service and people are so great the food is good and they always have fun drinks. They also have a few gluten free option which is really nice for someone with a gluten intolerance. Also, it's a great place for kids. My favorite dish we got this last time was the carne asada tacos. Their carne asada was surprisingly flavorful.

Fabulous! Nothing like a hot bowl of soup on a cold day! This is our second time visiting. They change their menu with the seasons. The green deliciousness that they offer to dip their homemade taro chips is divine. Everything we've gotten has been tasty. They clearly label their menu for gluten free and vegetarian options. They also offer vegan options. So much to try and reasonably priced. Also, they could not be more helpful or friendly. We really enjoyed sitting outside by the roaring fire while eating our soup!

Melissa was so accommodating for my order I am a celiac, She changed her gloves, provided me add-ons and kept my blender clean and the items that went into my drink! and even remembered my name. My husband and I have been coming here for over a year and we LOVE it. So nice to have a local place make someone with extreme allergies like myself feel normal. There is a cute patio, great options, and they stay open late until 9 but make sure to get there before 9 to order before last call :)

They were very accommodating to gluten + casein/dairy free taco recipe modifications [ALLERGY] I ordered a platter of pollo asada tacos with no cheese/sour cream and with corn tortillas. Was very flavorful and delicious (10/10), and service was friendly and accepted the above modifications. Adding the provided sauces is recommended (by me) to make it even more flavorful. The sauces are not excessively spicy and go well with the tacos.
