We were able to sit at the counter by the window and watch all the passersby. The pimento spread was amazing and the service was incredible.

Eat here. Eat it all. The chicken fried chicken is the standard. The onion burger is fantastic. So is taco norteno. Don’t skip the buttermilk pie! Drinks are great too. The service is chill and friendly and helpful.

The bartender Max was incredible. He provided excellent food recommendations and his knowledge and recommendations on drinks (especially mezcal) was exceptional. The food was unique and delicious. I will be telling everyone to go here.
