“ I went to this place for lunch one early afternoon. It is a small taco place with back patio outside seating. The menu is filled with variety. The food was great. But the biggest most admirable thing at this place is the service. A server named Gabriel is really the biggest asset to this place. He was very attentive and cordial. He made me feel as though I was the most important person there. Explained the menu, suggested items, and made sure to accommodate my every request. I really enjoyed my time here. If I had a business, I would want Gabriel to be the manager in charge. His hospitality has been thr best ove encountered in a very long time. Thank you for everything. ”
