About

This fast-casual Mexican spot builds burritos, fajitas, tacos and rice bowls to order; the sweet potato chilli can be paired with guacamole instead of cheese or sour cream. Portions are notably filling, and reviews mention quick counter service, upstairs seating and Mexican-themed music, though service and vegan order accuracy have been inconsistent.
