1st Time trying this spot and loved the experience, great food and employees would recommend to anyone wanting good authentic birria with good pricing.

Had it for the first time yesterday and it was quite an experience. The ambience is great. The booths where you grab your own food is really cool and convenient. You order your meats and sushi electronically so it's really efficient. Overall, everything we ordered, and it was pretty much everything from the Silver Tier and Sushi, was delicious! Our server was Chun and she really took care of me and my aunts. Consistently checked on us and made it a point to make sure our orders were arriving in a timely manner. Since it was our first time, she explained everything and made us feel welcome. My family and I plan to come back soon!

Please support this business! I have been going to this place for over 10 years! They have the best customer service and sandwiches! The Avocado French roll is my favorite, but all their food choices are delicious! They are so sweet and always treat me like family! They let you order ahead, which is so convenient, and they always give a free tea with my sandwich purchase! 10/10 recommend! They are the best!

La Quinta, CA

What they're known for:

Yelpers say:

The food here is simply fantastic! Great portions. Great textures. Great flavors. My fish sandwich was perfectly crispy on the outside, yet so soft inside in just the right way. The chicken sandwich is equally balanced & both the sides (fries or chips) have Old Bay seasoning, which I love! We also had great service & of course the location is pretty ideal. Very spacious, lots of natural light indoors, & easy-going vibes. You can watch sports without being in a stuffy, dark pub. As a local, I took way too long to try this place, since I'm from Palm Springs, but the 40min drive is worth it!

We ended up here after being in Yelp and seeing how great the reviews were. We were not disappointed. Omg, the food is so good! It's hard to find a good BBQ place near us. But this..brought back memories of Texas BBQ. The meat is so tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection! The brisket fries were my favorite! I got the cheese on the side but ended up putting it on the fries anyways. It's definitely going to be a regular for us! The service was great too! The cashier was super friendly and helpful! It's really clean inside and has a good ambiance! If you like BBQ, you're going to love this place!!!!
