Our experience here was overall good! Ambience was great, food was delicious, but some service definitely needs a little help. Our waitress approached us 3 times within 10 mins asking if we were ready to order when we had advised we were waiting on two more at the table. Once our full party arrived, she took an extremely long time to approach us again and ask for their drinks orders and our food orders. When she finally came around she was very short and stern and the overall conversation was very rushed. Nonetheless the host and the older gentleman refilling our water at the table really went above and beyond with their service so shout out to them!

Amazing food. Some of the best breakfast food I’ve ever had. Pancakes are ridiculous. Waffles too. Great staff and ownership was super busy and despite being short staffed really went above and beyond.

Lovely evening with my Book Club. We ate inside so we had low noise levels for good conversation.

It was a great experience at Takito. The tacos, esquites and margaritas were amazing. The Ponce taco stole the show as it was the fan favorite. We came to find out that it was the last night the restaurant was going to be open. So sad! We loved it so much and wanted to go back but at least we experienced a wonderful time there. Jordan took care of us and she went above and beyond to ensure we were good. Thank you for a great memory and saving the night by hosting us at last minute to celebrate my husband’s birthday.
