Quirky mix of Mexican/Brazilian with an island twist on the menu here. From classic burritos to a Kalua Pig bowl. I was happy to see Tofu, veggies, mushrooms and vegetarian fillings as part of your options when you go to make your meal.
First impression didn't really start off on the right foot though. We walked in and didn't know if we were supposed to order or wait to be seated. Walked around to the cashier working behind the counter and stood there till we were able to catch her attention and ask for help. That's when another employee came out from the back and walked us back to the entryway and walked us thru the menu. From there all staff was helpful and friendly throughout our visit.
I ended up picking the taco/burrito combo. My choice fillings were Tofu and Shrimp. Both had a polynesian marinade. It's like shoyu with pineapple juice. It was sweet and went well on the fillings I had. I didn't really like the shrimp though. Too rubbery texture for me. Portion wise, it was adequate and prices are reasonable most combos were under $10 . Combo platter came with beans and/or rice too. The cajun style beans wasn't too spicy . Also our server offered both red and green sauces for our dishes. The green sauce was what I remember most. Creamy but light, fresh, and just slightly spicy. Cilantro was prominent ingredient in it. I asked our server what else was used and was informed fat free mayo! Nice! They stick to the theme of healthier and fresh foods.
Atmosphere, well once you get past the narrow entryway where everyone crowds around to read the menu (hence the line out the door) it's bright and airy. The dining area is beach themed and the vibe is pretty chill and laid back. Seating in main dining area has booths lining one wall, several tables everywhere else. It's family friendly . The bar is in a separate area which has the partial view of the valley. It's a nice set up. I'll more than likely be back in this part of the restaurant since my neighbor friends are bar flies and like to just hang out for drinks and appys for happy hour or for a light lunch in the main dining area. That's about it.
