"Ok, so the they 're still figuring it out but this place is gunna be great! It has a lot of potential. Beer garden style (large open outdoor space with picnic tables), but Mexican vibe. There 's also some covered/indoor seating but all very open airy. The food is from Chilo 's taco truck and it was great! The frozen Pain Killer drink was SO GOOD. Vacation in a cup! We had the chips with salsa guac combo, both were good flavorful. We wanted to order all the tacos, butwe settled on four: chicken, slow cooked beef, chorizo, al pastor. All very good (though the chicken was probably our least favorite) and they provide lots of fixins. I 'd say the food truck was the standout. I don 't want to complain aboutthe service and logistics, because I think they reopened like a week ago but the system was a little confusing: you order food from the truck directly, fine but the server will come to your table for drink orders. The seating is selfserve though, so I think they had a hard time keeping up keeping track of new customers. In the end, it wasn 't too hard to flag someone down. As far as the vibe the space itself is what they have going for them. There was music playingat the inner bar, but you couldn 't hear it throughout. Bathrooms clean, lots of sanitizer on all the tables staff was wearing masks. I will definitely be back. Great to have another option over Greenwood Beer Garden."
