What our guests are saying

Everything about this place is great and fits. The atmosphere is cool/great for all ages, the server is nice, it's gluten-free friendly, and man, does the food taste great. Saw fish tacos were recommended by another review… yeah, best fish tacos I’ve ever had. Fresh fish, swapped out flour for corn tortillas, when cupped, everything fit perfectly…and was definitely filling. Got it with yellow rice. (Which was only *slightly* dry.)

We loved coming here when they were at their old location and followed them here. Nice drinks, a large variety of food (including veggie/vegan options) and a decent happy hour. This new location seems smaller and can fill up, so there might be a wait during peak times.

One of the best restaurants on Oak Street! Great service, so many menu options, fun atmosphere, and never a long wait! The food is all delicious, and the margaritas are splendid as well. I especially love the gutter punk burrito and the lemon-berry margarita. I take a lot of my out-of-town friends here when they visit! They are also very accommodating when a large party pays separately, which I appreciate.
