    I’ve been to Tabu a few times and the food here is delicious. The staff is super nice and attentive. I did the reggaeton brunch on Sunday with a group of friends (7 of us) and it was so much fun. The DJs were good, they kept the vibes up. They have a bottomless mimosa option or they have drinks a la carte. My favorite item from the brunch menu would have to be the Pork Belly Breakfast Tacos, they’re so flavorful! My friends ordered the Que-fc Tacos, and the Battuta Steak & Eggs. All of my friends really enjoyed their meals and said they’d definitely get them again. I want to try to flautas next!
