"Just to start this out as honestly as i can, we had just gotten out of a 6+ hour long drive so we were hungry and sorta didn't care about what to get just knew we wanted food! With that being said this food was amazing, we both got the Veggie Burrito and a fountain drink. Food didn't take long to get to us, we were seated upstairs, which on its own is a completely different experience that we weren't expecting, you walk into a small entrance where you can see the cooks making the orders and you place your order at the counter, not gonna lie the downstairs isn't much to look at but I do appreciate being able to see the cooks, not for security or anything, just because you don't see that too often. After you make your order you're walked upstairs and seated in this very nice large room with many tables chairs and even a bar! We came towards the middle of the day so we didn't experience any drinks unfortunately. Beautiful space, great design and lots of natural lighting, the atmosphere was very nice and refreshing. The food, now the food was super surprising not to say that we're expecting it to be bad but in my experience anything Veggie or vegetarian usually has a tendency of being a bit bland and or being filled with lettuce where the meat would've been, which is sad because that means many places rely heavily on meat to bring the flavor, but our burritos were so delicious! The burritos had lots of flavor with nothing overpowering anything but instead everything complimenting everything else rather well, they had actually used potatoes in the burritos as the protein replacement and i was very much elated at that, because let's be honest you can do so much with potatoes and they absolutely paired well in the burrito, I personally don't like spicy anything so when I saw jalapeños I was a bit worried, but they're actually pickled jalapeños with other vegetables and they added such a fresh taste and nice bite I was very much pleasantly surprised. The dish was served with beans and rice both of which were also delicious nothing too much to say about them but very good sides. I definitely recommend this place, prices are actually low for food this good! Definitely stop by and try!"

"Just moved into the neighborhood and saw this spot had good reviews. They are authentic with the flavors and real good and speedy service. My order was to-go following the day after a major holiday. Loved the taste of my burrito de carne asada. It was an average size but packed with the right balance of meat, rice (and I believe beans as well). I was able to get both the red and green salsa and they were both very yummylicious. That chipotle salsa was my top pick though. I was offered chips and salsa (which was more on the pico de gallo side), and it was also good but not spicy. I also tried the horchata (without ice) and it was cold still but super sweet and I'm pretty sure it's not made from scratch. Maybe with the ice it would have been more watered down but it was not good imo. So I'm a bit bummed out about that. I'll be down to try the Jamaica next time instead. And I'll def be back to try the tortas or other menu items. And they have a cute setup in one of the corners; It's spacious, clean and the deco is unique. I liked it! It was practically empty when I got there (just one person waiting for a to-go order), so I did not get the full ambiance of the place, but I'm sure they have their days (especially since it was the day after a holiday). If you pay with a card, they charge a 4% service fee. I did see an ATM inside, but did not see if it was functional."

"I'm a bit disappointed with this place honestly, especially with service. Food was at best 4 stars. It wasn't the worst Korean fusion food I've been had. But at the same time, they could improve. When you walk in, it's a very interesting place. It wants to be a Korean pocha, but it feels Mexican at the same time with the artwork on the wall. The best thing it had was the 90s K-pop playlist they had playing. Menu is super simple. But anything more complicated I don't think they could have handled. I was hoping for more to be completely honest. The soy garlic wings were extremely salty and very garlicky. So be prepared to have garlic breath for the rest of the night. And need to guzzle water too. The BULGOGI quesadilla was ok. Definitely on the sweeter side but could have been worse. The fries were pretty good. Service was at most a two star for me. I heard this place is under new management. So you'll have to be patient and give them time. Don't come here if you're pressed for time before the Red Bulls game. The manager herself literally has to watch over everything otherwise it falls apart. The table next to us stood up and left because no one came over to take their order. The manager had to do a lot of service recovery. They can't keep track of their orders and what table they belonged to. The guy receiving and delivering the food went to all the wrong tables with food and even came to us with more food meant for another table AFTER we had already paid. As someone who has worked in restaurants, I cringed at the disaster going down the drain. The waiter who was training was lost in the sauce and didn't know what to do with himself. The host also could have been way more helpful to the staff. The manager had to make all the drinks as the bartender too. Their systems did not work. So many things fell apart. The weirdest part was we were all served in takeout containers. They forgot to give us silverware and then proceeded to give us plastic ware. Forgot to give us plates for sharing our appetizers. Needed to ask for that too. We saw other customers going up to their stash of plastic ware to grab it themselves. Idk if they didn't have a dishwasher or something. But when we walked by on our way home after the game, all the tables were set up nicely with really silverware and plates."
