Halal meat is served here. Hand-slaughtered Harris Ranch Beef and Crescent Chicken. Owner is a Known Muslim. Hip place with cool vibes. Try the birria tacos (Sunday only) and the Super Nar-Cho burrito with Carne Asada (Steak). Nice interior and outdoor patio seating as well. Highly Recommended.

Parking can be challenging if you try to find close by on the street (we were lucky and we got it right outside) though there happens to be a big parking lot pretty close that can address this easy. Absolutely finger-licking good food paired with some of the warmest hospitality you’ll find. The hosts were welcoming, and genuinely friendly, making us feel right at home. We had a lot of questions and they were incredibly patient and happy to walk us through everything, which made the experience even better. The place itself is nice and cozy, with a comfortable vibe that’s perfect whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or sitting down to enjoy a full meal. Now let’s talk about the food because wow. Everything we ordered was packed with flavor and clearly made with care: Birria Plate: rich, deeply flavorful, and cooked to perfection Super Burrito: generously stuffed, well-balanced, and incredibly satisfying Nachos: loaded, fresh, and impossible to stop eating Every bite was bold, comforting, and downright delicious the kind of food that makes you pause and say this is really good. Highly recommended, and definitely a place we’ll be coming back to.
