Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Better for casual early dates or post-activity meals - it's counter-service with plastic baskets, not romantic ambiance, but perfect if you want low-pressure and authentic vibes
Can I get a table without a reservation? No reservations needed - it's counter service, order at the front and grab any open table
Is it kid-friendly? Extremely - casual environment, high chairs available, quesadillas and simple bean burritos work for picky eaters, and the price won't punish you if they don't finish
How long does it take to get food? 10-15 minutes typically - everything's made fresh to order but they move quickly
Do they have outdoor seating? Limited - 2-3 tables outside, mostly indoor seating in the simple dining area
