Happy soft opening! I've been patiently watching the parking for weeks now as the new resturant came together and I stopped in tonight 12/08/25 because I noticed the lights were on! Ordered a lengua burrito to go with a side of rice and beans. The burrito was easily two meals, easy to share for dinner, and oh so tasty. The red and green sauces are fabulous and helped highlight the flavor of everything: the rice was aromatic and tender, the frijoles were luscious and silky, and everything together was a beautiful fiesta of flavors. Very happy to see them open and excited to see how the space comes alive as the days turn into weeks and months. The restaurant space has excellent sound dampening and the screen behind the bar makes me excited for World Cup and other football matches.
