| - I have yet to meet an Upwards Project establishment that I didn't like!
The decor is awesome. Hip and comfortable. The outside patio chairs look uncomfortable but are. The chairs inside look comfy too. The patio has misters- and you don't get soaked!!
The menu is simple. Tacos, burritos, sides, desserts, and a nice drink menu. As any good restaurant should, they brought out complimentary chips and salsa. Very tasty! Chips were nice and crispy! I had the chicken burrito. My only complaint was the menu did not specify mushrooms were in it. It only mentioned a garden variety mix. Luckily they were huge chunks so easy to remove! I also had the Mexican corn. If you like cheese, you'll love this. Cheese was all I could taste. $5 for a piece of corn was a bit much, so between that and the fact the food does not come with a side (no rice or beans?). This is the only reason for 4 stars instead of 5. The food was excellent though. We also shared dessert. The Mo's Definitely was good, and I can't wait to go back and try the others.
The drinks were great too! I had the Mexican Mule. Nice for a warm summer day out on the patio. My friend had a blood orange margarita, that was good too!
Finally, I have to comment on the service. We went on opening day (6/4) and I expected slow, quirky service. Nope! Other than the fact our server thought the corn came with 2 cobs, which he quickly corrected himself on, he knew the menu, made great recommendations, had out stuff out to us fast and brought exactly what we ordered. All of the staff there were very friendly, smiling, always checking up on us and refilling water. You'd never know they just opened, no opening day kinks that I could see.
This is a great addition to the area, I can't wait to go back and taste more of the menu!
