Worth the wait. Chicken Nachos with guac less than $20, huge serving, chicken grilled fresh and absolutely delicious! Sadly only one staff member on she did well considering she was on her own.

Nice change from the processed/ fast food chains nearby. My peri wrap was fresh and delicious, and the chips were amazing! Thank you
