Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking only; spots are limited near Grant after 7pm, so expect to circle or use nearby paid lots along Columbus.
Dress code: Ultra casual—hoodies, sneakers, and post-bar attire all fine.
Noise level: Moderate-to-loud; mostly takeout traffic with street noise from nearby bars.
Weekend wait: 10–15 minutes for pickup orders, up to 25 if busy after midnight.
Weekday lunch: No wait—walk up and get food in under 10 minutes.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—veggie burrito and quesadilla available on request.
Vegan options: Limited—can modify burritos or fries, but no dedicated vegan proteins.
Gluten-free options: Partially—corn tortillas available, but shared prep area.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Not ideal—it’s more of a grab-and-go counter stop than a sit-down spot. Better for casual late-night bites than romance.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes—there’s no reservation system, and limited outdoor seating is first-come, first-served.
Is it kid-friendly? Fine for older kids who can eat street-style; no high chairs or kids’ menu, but mild options like cheese quesadillas are easy wins.
Best For
Better for: Faster and cheaper than nearby taquerias for late-night pickup or quick burrito runs.
Skip if: Skip if you want table service, cocktails, or an extended sit-down meal—go to North Beach Cantina instead.
