Had the most delicious Spicy Cilantro bowl with extra garbanzo today along with cilantro juice. It’s so good, and the spicy level is checked. Rice should cook more for me. Juice is okayish but tastes nice along with a bowl

Excellent clean and fresh food. Very creative and healthy menu, for both carnivores and herbivores. High quality ingredients with a unique twist on almost every item. I can’t seem to go beyond the salmon bowl, which is so good – fresh vegetables in a tasty sauce, lime rice, and high quality fish. Really nice interior and friendly service. This location has margaritas and beer and wine. I eat here often. Highly recommended.

Good vibes here! Mocktail and salsa were out of this world. Staff was great and will definitely be coming back to this place.

Food was good but expensive for the portions that you get. We got a gluten free quesadilla, a burrito, and some tacos. Lots of dining space inside. Meter parking outside of the restaurant. Not too far from the pier. Some cold drink options available. Menu on digital screens. Nice ambiance.

Excellent salad! Really flavorful, the place has both indoor and covered outside space. They really cut the salad in fine pieces.

Absurdly good vegan food! I tried all of the tacos, and they were some of the best I’ve ever had vegan or not. Prices are very reasonable as well. My only tiny nitpick is that the mushroom in the mushroom taco could have used more seasoning, but that’s it.

Upscale modern Mexican food. I got the street corn bowl with chicken which was delicious. My friend got the bean bowl with avocado. We got the margarita which was extremely strong if you like that kind of thing. It has a weird almost smoky after taste. The strawberry basil juice was really refreshing and you can get free refills also. Try both of the Sriracha’s as well. Spicy but tasty. I would 100% recommend this place. The staff are also very friendly!

The environment was super nice and trendy, the tacos and food were all pretty good, they got our food out fast, but just messed up our order a bit. The reason for 3 instead of 5 is the tacos were good, but not amazing like they were hyped up to be. They felt pretty basic and nothing to get me dying to come back. The corn tamale was great though probably a four star quality!
