Absolutely delicious food and great service! Our server was very friendly and helpful, the birria tacos were the best I’ve ever had, AND we got free margaritas (which were also extremely delicious). We were sad to see 997 Cafe close, but I’m so glad such a great restaurant moved in. Their menu has a little something for everyone. Come check this place out!

I can’t say enough good things about this place! The owner and his staff are some of the nicest people around. You won’t get service and food of this quality ANYWHERE else! Beautiful, colorful cuisine and delicious drinks of all varieties. I love their hibiscus drink and Cherry limeade, highly reccomend! You have got to try their Tacos & taco bowls, to die for! Don’t forget to order queso

An absolute hidden gem. Their food is fresh and delicious, service was outstanding and the restaurant was super clean. We tried the cheeseburger burrito which was stuffed with French fries; the surf & turf burrito which was stuffed full of steak and shrimp with rice and beans; and the birria tacos which came with a side of rice and beans. They also have complementary fresh made chips and salsa. We would highly recommend any of those dishes and we will absolutely be back to try more menu items.

Best cheesesteaks around. Everything is fresh and really good across the whole menu. Cheese wedges were awesome and should be added to the menu. Make sure you check the specials for the week. They're always delicious

Really nice place with good food. We ordered the chicken cheese subs with fries and mozzarella sticks all for $20 Tuesday deals!

Can't say enough amazing things about this place. Ordered the fried chicken sandwich and wow it was the size of my face lol. Killer service and food so good I gotta come back to try those specials they have throughout the week.

Our first time trying this place! We have been wanting to and finally had time. We got the rice bowl and it was AMAZING. My daughter did get the chicken tenders the fries. The fries were different. Really good but I think for a kid it could tast weird. Tasted like hush puppies which I love just alittle different for little ones. The atmosphere was amazing. Had board games to play. And our server was the sweetest !

Birria tacos are incredibly full of flavor and beef is soaked in juices like they should. Everything tastes authentic. Was my first time visiting and now need to taste the rest of the menu.
