Food and service were excellent! I had the Salmon and it was delicious. A great place to eat before going to the Citadel Theater in Lake Forest.

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.
