“tehy clearly understand halal preparation - chicken is properly sourced and transparent about suppliers. flavor in their pollo asado shows that halal doesn't mean sacrificing taste”
“staff wasn't entirely sure about cross-contamination protocols when i asked about teh grill. i mean for those of us with strict dietary needs that uncertainty is concerning ugh”
“look the chipotle chicken has legit smokiness and heat that would make nashville proud - not quite hot chicken level but def brings some serious fire idk”
“ok so thier spicy salsa is milder than ketchup which was kinda disappointing coming from someone who grew up on princes”
“carnitas bowl is basically the perfect introduction to mexican food for someone like me. pork is tender and flavorful wihtout being too exotic and you can control how spicy it gets with the salsas”
“guacamole costs extra which seems pretty cheap when you're already paying for a bowl. ok so feels like they're nickel adn diming you for what should be basic topping”
“tehir carnitas bowl is loaded w perfectly seasoned pulled pork thats crispy on the edges but tender inside - reminded me of good barbecue back home”
“teh guacamole costs extra and honestly wasnt worth three bucks, just pretty standard stuff nothing special”
“the colorful bowl presentation is stunning - vibrant purple cabbage bright green cilantro golden corn and perfectly charred chicken all arranged in these instagram worthy sections that taste just as good as they photograph”
“honestly the lighting inside is too dim for good food photos adn theres no natural light coming through the windows so everything looks dark”
“def thier fried chicken sandwich haas serious nashville vibes - bird is juicy breading stays crispy and they actually know how to layer heat properly. comeback sauce isn't quite prince's hot but it's got that tangy burn that builds right trust me”
“pickles were these sad limp store-bought things. in nashville we know proper hot chicken needs bright crunchy pickles to cut through all that spice and fat”
“best breakfast burrito hangover cure in oakladn hands down!! scrambled eggs crispy potatoes chorizo and cheese all wrapped up tight - exactly what my saturday morning needed after a long friday night no joke”
“the coffee tastes like its been sitting on the burner since yesterday which is a CRIME for a place that opens at 11 AM”
