Definitely a must visit. The food was delicious and the service outstanding. As a vegetarian I really enjoyed the flavor and portion of the meal (had the nachos, best I’ve ever had). Even my family who don’t have any food restrictions enjoyed the food. 10/10 would definitely recommend a visit!

While their food is fresh, raw & delicious. There isn't a feasible option for you to carry out your food to enjoy at home. I drive nearly an hour to eat here, but today I was working in the neighborhood and decided to a stop in and grab my food to go. I ordered the taco salad, but asked if I could have another container rather than the compostable ones they have available(the toppings soak into the container). I was then informed that all the plastic is only to be used for catering. I was then offered an option to put the toppings on the side, which I agreed would be a fair option. But, in order to get the toppings on the side I would have to pay an additional fee of $1.50 because they had to use additional containers to place the toppings in. The entire encounter was disappointing and disheartening. So, I figured I'd just order something else instead. But, I decided to leave instead. I couldn't comfortably pay for food here if I couldn't get what I want & be charged as if I'm causing them an inconvenience for being a frequent customer. I'll be taking a break from this restaurant for awhile. I have to save up my gas money to afford to take my order to go. EDIT.... Gotta love when an owner addresses you and works out different ways to solve this issue going forward. Right back to a 5 star!!!!
