    Delightful! Sat outside on a beautiful evening. Inside busy, which is great!; but very noisy which would have made it impossible for one of my guests to hear and engage in conversation. Food terrific, staff kind and welcoming. Service a bit slow due to busyness.

    The food (tacos, guacamole, a half platter nacho, sweet potato mash, tortilla soup) was all very good. My need for gluten free food was addressed professionally and there were lots of choices from the gluten-free menu. The real star, however, was our amazing waiter who was handling the whole room by himself at lunchtime. He was ably assisted by others who brought the food to the table when it was ready. Very professional and friendly service !!! My only caveat is the music, was very much too loud for lunchtime and for a restaurant that was not full. It was difficult to talk across a four person table and be heard.
