While scrolling on Instagram, a post came up on my feed about the Grand Opening of this place for today(Saturday). It's a Brooklyn-based spot and this is it's first location opening outside of NYC. With them having a special of a free bowl for every customer, I figured why not check it out.
As you drive by and walked up, hard to miss it since they had music playing and balloons to signal it's opening. Got in there and saw the DJ to my left - the music selection was good. This spot is a pretty decent size and setup of your typical fast-casual restaurants - large windows letting a ton of light in, wooden/metal tables either booth style or high tops. There was a line but they had a really good process going, so it only took me maybe 5 or 6 minutes to get up to order.
They have the line setup for you to make your selections easy - similar to a Chipotle, Qdoba or Naf Naf. Since they were offering a Grand Opening special for their bowls, I got that. I chose mexican rice as my base with black beans and topped it with half grilled chicken/half chipotle chicken, romaine lettuce, corn salsa and pico, guacamole, cheese and chipotle sauce. When I got back to try it, I was pleased with it. Food tasted pretty fresh, tasty and they gave good servings of everything.
A more local fast casual restaurant to consider in the city. I would go back to try on a normal day and see what other options are like.
