Small- chain tacos - good flavor good value. I grabbed two tacos - both Shrimp, Dynamite Shrimp Taco - Fried shrimp topped with slaw, jalapeno ranch and sriracha. Served on a flour tortilla.- and Baja Shrimp Taco -crispy shrimp, sauce, red cabbage. Definitely liked the Baja shrimp taco better. The sauce was so good. The dice on the Dynamite felt more like buffalo( not to my liking with shrimp )The street corn was ok. It was probably canned sweet corn and cojita and cheese. It was dry and lacked any flavor. If I go back I’ll get a different side.

I come here 3-6 times a month. I love the bartenders, Lee being one of my favorites. But the service behind the counter and in the kitchen is less than appealing. I am currently in here we ordered at 4:27 pm, we just got called for our tacos at 5:02. The guy behind the counter who on the receipts name is Jon, offered no apology or explanation. If you’re short staffed just say so. Three people at the bar hadn’t been helped. One woman walked out. I went to check on my order, and he barked “I’m making your order”. Like okay, it’s been 30 minutes I was just looking for an update. You don’t have to be happy but you also don’t have to be rude. I probably won’t be back, I’ll make the trek out to beavercreek. Or only come when Lee is working and sit at the bar.

Food was really good BUT the portion size was extremely small for what you paid. ALSO to street corn???? Did you just open a can of corn. The chips were good and the guacamole was on point. But seriously your prices and your canned corn fix that

These two workers were acting very racist. The bar tender did not check on us not one time he got our drinks got our money and never checked on us again. When we first came in to sit down he waited about ten mins before coming to check on us and served a person that had came in after us before us. Another set of African Americans came in and they were speaking with one another. The taller guy made a comment saying ohh yea they are out here tonight referring to black people. Don’t spend your money with this company. The workers are very racist. Or at least these two were.

we have eaten here frequently, and the flavors are usually good IF they get your order correct. Nine times out of 10 they do not get it right and they don't try to fix their mistake either. If you make notes such as no cheese - severely allergic, they pay no attention to your request. I summarize this by saying the quality is poor, training poor and so is their management. DO BETTER.

Never ever ever had a correct carryout or delivery order. Items missing, wrong, modifications paid for but missing, etc. Food is really good, I just wish I could get what I ordered. Truly do not understand the issue. When I go in person it is always fine.

Tacos are not authentic and they only had flour tortillas. You could tell where they cut cost for an easy profit. The tacos were way over priced for what they were worth. However, I did enjoy the X games that was playing on the TV.

The food was good, but not great. The staff was extremely friendly, but my pickup order was not ready when promised (10 minutes late) and they didn’t make what was ordered as it would have taken even longer since the staff said the cauliflower was still frozen.

They let the dog chill on the patio with us and even opened the window to help serve us! Food was really good and the dog loved it, even gave her a water bowl.Thank you !
