Tacodeli

24 Ways to Celebrate Houston’s 713 Day

"Would it be a Houston holiday without tacos and margaritas? Tacodeli’s Rice Military and Post Oak Plaza locations will complement its signature taco menu with a host of drink specials, including $5 margaritas and beers for $2.13 (which together are the equivalent of $7.13). Order i5w Señorita Margaritas — a combination of el Jimador tequila, cane sugar, orange liqueur, and fresh lime juice — on the rocks or frozen, and switch it up by adding watermelon agua fresca or horchata for some extra flavor." - Brittany Britto Garley

Where to Enjoy the Total Solar Eclipse in Houston - Eater Houston

"To celebrate the eclipse, on Monday, April 8, Tacodeli will extend their breakfast hours to 3 p.m. and will offer 50 percent off all alcoholic drinks. Consider its selection of breakfast tacos, and drinks like the señorita margarita, la dama paloma, or epic western ranch water." - Kayla Stewart

Tacodeli Review - North Austin - Austin - The Infatuation

"With multiple locations around town—even at the airport—Tacodeli’s breakfast tacos have saved us from dizzied hunger dazes more often than we’d like to admit, and the location just a short crawl away from The Domain is no exception. The Jess Special—combining migas, jack cheese, and avocado—is possibly one of the more iconic (and tasty) breakfast tacos in town. Tacodeli also does a killer sirloin, egg, and cheese taco, and the doña salsa will light your mouth on fire in the best way. photo credit: Mackenzie Smith Kelley" - Nicolai McCrary

Tacodeli - Rosedale Review - Rosedale - Austin - The Infatuation

"Tacodeli’s breakfast tacos are solid bets. The Jess Special—combining migas, jack cheese, and avocado—is possibly one of the more iconic (and tasty) breakfast tacos in town. They also do a killer sirloin, egg, and cheese taco, and their doña salsa will light your mouth on fire in the best way. Their lunch tacos are very good, too, and sway more towards the traditional Mexican offerings. You may pay a dollar or so more than the average taco here, but you get higher-quality everything. The North Lamar location is most convenient if you’re looking for something during the work day. Just expect a line—don’t worry, it moves quickly. photo credit: Roger Ho" - Adele Hazan

The Barbacoa tacos were horrible and disgusting! I received a literal glob of meat and beans. I ask for onions, cilatro and lime and it appears it disappeared into the mess they threw on my tacos. I tried to pick up a taco to eat it and it was so greasy that my fingers went right through the tortilla as it was sitting in foil bathing in grease. I had tonwash my hand 3 times to get all the grease off. After all of that I was still hopeful it would taste good. Nope. It was gross! It was like eating an old clump of whatever full of grease. I just threw them away and counted it as not just a financial loss, but a lesson on where NOT to purchase good food. It is unfortunate because I am new to the neighborhood and was hoping this would be my place for a daily trip for a morning coffee as well. I cannot return here and will not promote a place this horrible. This place is really cute and the staff was friendly, but that will never be enough to make up for the disgusting food. The fountain Ginger drink is good.

First time visiting this location and was immediately impressed with the friendly service provided by the young cashier. Gave suggestions and processed quickly. Chips and guac was great. The pork taco was really tasty and while the carne asada one was still really good think I'd pick the pork one as my fave. I'm not a fan of the fountain soda selection since it's not your traditional Pepsi or coke machine but they made up for it with some delicious tea.

So, I want to start off by saying the service and atmosphere was not bad at all, but at the end of the day, the food is the most important thing. I came here a few weeks ago and got some very subpar breakfast tacos. I usually do not return to an established after getting food that tastes as bad as this place is, but it was raining and I wanted something very close to my home. I decided to give this place another shot. I ordered the “Migas” plate. This was absolutely terrible. I don’t know who owns this place or runs the menu, but they clearly have zero clue about what Migas are. They gave me bad scrambled eggs, horrible beans and just folded a tortilla on the side and have the audacity to call this, “Migas.” Not only was the taste horrendous, but THIS IS NOT MIGAS. I have no clue how this place has such a high rating. It’s very bad in terms of the food. Also, their cold brew is Cuban coffee. They should advertise that on the menu 31 in parentheses. Cuban coffee is as you know, extremely strong. No sugar, milk or anything can be added. The overall experience with the cuisine is very bad. This place should have a 3.2-3.5 at best. The people who eat here have no clue what good Mexican food is if they are giving this a 4.5 rating.

It was a cool experience to eat here. The food was unique, a different taste to the tacos that I'm always eating. Especially the corn, it had bacon in it, never had corn with bacon before, so I thought that was an interesting taste. Overall, I enjoyed eating here.

I don't know who named this place but whatever, all that matters it what it taste like, and Tacodeli is great! First, I love there is ample parking because that is a rare thing in these here parts. It's counter service, and the worker was really helpful answering my husband's questions. As for me, I don't have questions. I like to come prepared with what I want to order and get it done. We ordered the chips and queso to start. The chips were fresh (yes they are in a bag but they are really good) and the queso was some of the best I have had but I still like Torchy's queso a tad bit better. Sorry, not sorry. I got the Pollo Fantastico, which has a green chile sauce and crema on it, and of course on a flour tortilla. It was so delicious and the tortilla was thin, but not so thin that everything came busting out. I will order this one again! I also got the Shrimposito on flour. It has a chipotle sesame adobo and queso fresco, but something about the way it all tasted was not to my liking. I mean, it wasn't awful, it just wasn't as good as I had hoped it would be. The tacos are smaller, and had I not eaten chips and queso, I probably could have had 3-4 tacos total. Fairly fast and super delicious, and now one of my favorites!

I’ve only been to the TacoDeli in Austin’s Airport but this one has wayyyy more options & I loved it!! Really cool vibrant place. I like that they have outdoor and indoor seating. Vegan to regular options available to all the foodies out there. The staff even helped figure out what options can be made vegan. Really fresh food and unique flavors. I didn’t try their drinks but they looked really good so now I need to come back next week haha. They have a whole parking lot n in the back too so lots of space for you and all your friends to join the taco fun!

Friendly quick service, Clean, cute decor, and open in the am when we needed it.. Grateful for that. But Lord this food was salty! I have a terrible cold so I can’t taste much but the salt was almost too much to bear. Otherwise the soup had nice fresh fresh minced veggies and plump real chicken. Liked the tortillas for the tacos but not the eggs or the fillings. Tacodeli is not for me!

Tacodeli is in a great location as it’s not very far from buffalo bayou park or the white oak bayou. I see the running and cycling community stop in here a lot due to the great food. There are many healthy choices and not pricy at all. Their patio is covered but is still open to the outside air. I love eating and hanging out with friends and family here. 😀

Wow now that's customer service we were hungry. We came by taco deli today here after the storm not a lot of places are open they have power, but their payments system is not working. So get this instead of just being closed their policy is that whenever it doesn't work, they just give the food away for free what. Oh yes, you heard me right when the power is out or it's just their payment system isn't working. They give everything away now that serving their community and they are they livelong Customer with me today. Besides that the polo fantastical and happy taco were delicious on Corn tortillas!

I've been wanting to try this place for so long, especially knowing they offer vegetarian tacos. Unfortunately, the actual food didn't match up to the expectations. The only dish I felt it was good was the chicken tortilla soup, there is actually a generous amount of chicken and avocado in the soup. The tacodeli bowl was a big disappointment. They charge you extra $4 for protein, and the amount of meat you get was sad. Nothing special. The vegetarian tacos: FRONTERA FUNDIDO CAULIBELLA and space cowboy both tastes similar and bland, again nothing stand out. Price is on the higher end, but food is just okay.

My sisters & I had a few breakfast tacos from here and they did not disappoint! They tasted fresh and wasn't too heavy. I'll have to come back to try other tacos. Definitely recommend trying this place out!

Vibe- This spot is a vibe! Its sits off Washington Avenue. There's plenty of seating inside and I counted 8 tables outside under their covered porch kind of area (I sat outside on a beautiful sunny day, it was as the best!!) they have an entire salsa bar where you can serve self mild to hot salsa. Customer service- Amazing, the gentleman that took my order was so kind. Food/drinks- I got their vegan taco options: Freakin Vegan and Papadulce; they were both delicious!! Parking- There's a lot next to the building with plenty of spots to park.

Kaitlin O.

Yelp

Very yummy tacos! We had a big group of people and we were able to be seated together and the food came out pretty quick. I ordered the pollo fantastico and barbacoa madruguera breakfast taco. For the barbacoa, the meat was very tender and flavorful and the salsa paired really well with the rest of the taco. For the pollo, I enjoyed the creama Mexicana white sauce they used. The chicken was not dry and the green Chile sauce added a slight kick. Both tacos were pretty filling and I would definitely order both of these tacos again!

There's nothing here we don't love. And there's definitely something for everybody. Carnivores will be happy, vegans will be happy, vegetarians will be happy, GF people will be happy- I know this because our group had all four types who loved and raved about it. The street corn side was a crowd favorite as was the pork verde taco. The sweet potato and corn taco was a favorite as well. The margaritas are nice and limey and sour- not too sweet- which I love personally. Service was efficient and friendly, dining room was clean and welcoming- but we took ours to go. Excellent quality food, great prices, highly recommend.

I was initially in the area to grab a quick bite elsewhere before attending an Independence Day firework show however the place I wanted to eat was out of food. I saw Tacodeli as it was in walking distance and made my way over. Unfortunately, parking is atrocious and there's no cross walk so getting there nearly injured me. Be careful crossing the street, if needed, because I almost witnessed SEVERAL accidents. Anywho, Tacodeli is nice on the inside and has covered patio seating. The staff was nice and the menu has a variety of menu options that fit multiple dietary needs (pescatarian, vegetarian, gluten-free, etc.). I ended up getting two beef tacos, one seafood, and a water. I like both beef tacos but the cowboy was my favorite. It was surprisingly spicy though. I also got the shrimposito which I didn't like. I think it was the adobo that was off-putting for me. All in all, Tacodeli was fulfilling but I honestly would be okay if I never had it again. The pros were that the ingredients are fresh, locally sourced, and sometimes organic but I'm not sure that the taste blew me away. Would definitely recommend but if for whatever reason you're not that concerned about the quality of the ingredients, there are plenty of other taco shops or trucks in Houston that can deliver more flavor.

This is a convenient place for tacos. I would say every item we have had is average. The service is good and a nice location, however don't expect the best taco.

This is my go-to spot for breakfast tacos in Houston. I may or may not have chosen my new place to live based on its proximity to Taco Deli. Brad and I each got two breakfast tacos, I always go for a variety that has avocado and eggs with some kind of other protein or beans. I've tried the vaquero, the jess special, the Otto, barbacoa madruguera... basically most of them. All the sauces are probably good but I can only do mild varieties. There is a huge following for the doña sauce (it's the creamy green one) so if you can handle the heat I'd recommend trying it. ALSO they have cold brew coffee!

Kelayne P.

The breakfast tacos here are delightful. I like how they prepare there beans like a paste, yummy. The dairy free horchata is Devine.

This review is long overdue. I've be frequenting Tacodeli for about a year now and just took my mom and brother here over the weekend. They both enjoyed their food. My brother was a bit confused by the menu and when he asked to switch his taco out, they let him do so with no trouble. Talk about great customer service!! My only warning with this place is that their cold brew isn't very good. Three different people have tried it with me and none have liked it. Their hot coffee got my moms seal of approval though!

Krystal W.

Yelp

Walked in hoping to get some tacos because I was starving. I stood unaddressed for a bit although workers were near. I ordered two tacos. Something told me to check my food, but instead of bacon, they'd given me beans. The potatoes were soufleed and do not belong on tacos. I went back in after seeing this in the car. I asked again this time for a bacon, egg, and cheese taco. Hold the beans the I didn't ask for. I got another wrong taco. They forgot the cheese. The lady, seemingly the manager want the warmest or friendliest either.

Breakfast tacos were pretty good; the service was quick, fast, and accessible. The staff was inviting and friendly, and the restaurant decor was like a simple taco shop, nothing too crazy. I wouldn't say I liked that they didn't have hot tea and an extensive vegan breakfast menu. I almost forgot I walked into this establishment and saw a deranged homeless man making a lot of noise for no reason. I'm not saying it's their fault, but it had me on edge. Other than that excellent taco spot, I can't wait to try their lunch and dinner menu options

Tacos are good here, the space cowboy is one of my favorites despite being a vegan taco. Online ordering process could use some work, sign in required then email link verification, just to order tacos?

I have to say I have visited taco deli in Austin numerous times and always have a great experience. I've purchased their tacos at the farmers markets and coffee shops and airport also and the tacos are always consistent in taste, service, and on point. This was my first time trying the Houston location and I was pretty disappointed. The order was confirmed and I cross checked the receipt with the ticket but the build your own tacos were missing ingredients. Really sad our breakfast tacos didn't have the papas (which we love) even though we asked for them and the receipt says we paid for it. We came on a Sunday around 11am to order in person and take them with us down the street to eat outside because the weather was perfect and sunny. The tacos we got were not hot from the moment we picked them up. They were room temp. None of the cheese was melted. Usually the foil wrapped taco is pretty warm to the touch. This would never happen at taco deli in Austin. Even when you purchase a premade taco at the airport it's hot.

No matter where, I will always recommend Tacodeli. I had 2 Otto breakfast tacos and a Cha Cha (cold brew and horchata) the best breakfast in the land. The cha cha is something so tasty that I've made it a point to recreate at home. Genius. The establishment has a lovely covered patio that is dog friendly and well kept.

Breakfast tacos here hit the spot! Especially with the salsa doña added - the best salsa. Service is great, food comes out fast, and there's plenty of seating.

Good food and kid friendly atmosphere. While I found everything tasty the food come pretty spicy (guacamole and taco meat) so hard to pick out food for the younger ones.

The Dona sauce is basically heaven. (Hotter jalapeno/garlic mix I would call it) Tacos are great I really enjoyed them in Austin and the same is true now with them in Houston. I would be the most loyal patron if you opened on in Kingwood, hit me up if there are franchise possibilities :)

Cassandra M.

First time trying Tacodeli. Sounded good. Tasted good, unfortunately within 30 minutes to an hour I began to become increasingly sick lasting for the next few days. Thank goodness I only ate half of my 2 tacos. Would hate to think of how sick I would have been if I had eaten all of it. It was the only thing I had eaten. Couldn't have been caused by anything else.

Tony R.

Yelp

I've tried this place twice and it is one of the worst breakfast tacos I have ever eaten. I ordered a potato egg and cheese taco, but there was almost no potatoes in them. And 80% the taco was just cheese. If you wanna know, flavor cheese taco then this is your place.

Libby H.

Yelp

Nice service but honestly not that great of tacos or queso... we had high hopes since honestly this place has pretty good reviews on google and Yelp but disappointed in flavors of the tacos themselves. They lacked in flavor and were sub par. We all tried various types of tacos (beef, pork belly, chicken, veggie) and all just were not that good. :(

Sarah D.

Yelp

Fresh and flavorful tacos, coming right up! If you are a taco aficionado like me, you welcome the chance to try a new taco place. We happened to be in the area and were looking for a light lunch. This place was recommended so we gave it a try. The chips (not complimentary) were interestingly served in a plastic bag along with the queso. Nevertheless they were advertised to be organic and they were really good chips. The queso was also quite tasty. The food was served very quickly and it was indeed very fresh. I decided to go vegetarian for my lunch and ordered one The Heather taco and one Papadulce taco, both on corn tortillas. You are given the option of flour, corn or wheat tortillas. The tacos were overflowing with filling and two tacos (after some chips and queso) were more than enough for my average appetite. They also offered a salsa bar with a salsa verde (mild), salsa roja (medium), salsa doña (hot) and salsa habañero (very hot). The salsa verde and roja were both tangy and enjoyable. The salsa doña had good flavor but was a little too spicy for me. As you can probably guess, I did not try the habañero salsa. There is also a sign that says you can find their salsas at Whole Foods. Additionally, I thought the organic soda options were unique and a nice surprise as opposed to the usual Coke or Pepsi products. Finally, the prices are really fair I think for the tacos. I enjoyed the flavor profiles and would definitely return if I find myself back in this area of Houston.

First impressions mean so much... My friend went and picked up breakfast for us. She ordered a vegan taco and a side of breakfast potatoes. I asked her to pick me up the Otto and the Jess special. We meet up to eat and she hands my my taco and opens hers... except it's the same as mine... We open the third taco and it's my other taco. Uhhhh No vegan taco in sight. We figure it out and I end up removing the bacon from the Otto and giving her that. She figures it's fine I'll have the potatoes... unwrap the foil and it's queso??? My food was great and obviously I didn't have to experience this but that's a big YIKES Thankfully she's not an actual vegan, just eats like a vegan without the title if that makes sense but this was not cool She also said the whole ordering situation at the restaurant was pretty terrible soooo to add to it, she gets no breakfast. SMH I'd go back because like I said my tacos were good but now I'm concerned it's gonna be a hot mess

Yelp

Update to an old 2017 review that was unfair, as they had just opened then. Execution seems much better now. although they seem understaffed as of April 2022 (sadly common now). Pros: large menu, really good queso, good salsa, decent tacos. Cons: still not really great tortillas (flour is ok, corn is horrible but at least you can choose), average food and pricier vs. other similar brick-n-mortar taco shops. Among similar brick-n-mortar taco shops, I'd still rather go to one of: Torchy's, Velvet, Liberty

I had the chicken, mole, refried beans and rice. Honestly, I was prepared to be disappointed because not everyone makes bomb a$$ mole. Anyway, it was soooo good! I am pleasantly surprised! The young man who helped me was really nice too. I love a place with good food and customer service.

Michelle W.

Yelp

Tacodeli all around is pretty solid taco place. I haven't had a taco there that wasn't good and I love that they have so many vegetarian and vegan tacos to choose from too in addition to the normal meat tacos. The real winner here though is their salsas. The verde is pretty great, but the roja is incredible. It's the perfect combination of fresh, smoky and savory. I could honestly drink this salsa on its own. It just adds so much flavor to the taco, not that their tacos really need much help, but still. Wow! Also they have online ordering on their website which makes it super convenient!

Matt S.

Yelp

It's fair to be skeptical about a place called taco DELI. But the tacos are great. They're good sized and tasty. A little high on price but it seems you can't get a taco for less than $5 anywhere now. I'll be back.

Leslie K.

Yelp

All my friends who love this place went to UT or like the vegetarian options. I personally think the meat is tough/overcooked. There are many other taco options in Houston, so I would probably only recommend this place for their vegetarian options. The queso is on the runnier side, but I don't mind that.

Amber C.

Yelp

I really wanted to give this place better ratings because I liked the tacos so much (DIY breakfast taco with chorizo, avo, cheese, eggs, and the deli belly pork belly taco Saturday special, and chips and queso). Unfortunately I had a bad case of food poisoning after eating here :'( The chips from the chips and queso came in plastic wrapping which I thought was interesting. They also provide a wide selection of salsas to put on your tacos which is nice

Tasfia A.

Yelp

After months of my friend telling me to check this place out, I finally got the chance to go! I came for breakfast/lunch with two friends and had a really positive experience. This place has a huge variety of tacos and the service is reasonably fast (and friendly!) considering how packed the restaurant gets! I ordered the Shrimposito (savory, seasoned shrimp with cheese and avocado) and Tikin Xic (grilled salmon, spicy black salsa), which were both very good. The Tikin Xic was a little too seasoned/spicy for my taste, so next time I'm at Tacodeli I might pass on that option. I really liked the shrimp taco; its pairing with the cheese and avocado was delicious and I'd definitely order this again! I'm glad I came here and hope to be back again to try their other tacos!! Really unique and awesome selection and delicious food! Parking situation: on-site

I've missed eating my brunch tacos, but they have curbside, so it makes it so convenient. I ordered online and pickup was 815am on Saturday - there are 8 slots to park. I love the Otto - on wheat - which has very crispy bacon, avocado, and black bean spread. I also like the small chips and queso. I can't wait to try their lunch tacos. highly recommended!

The tacos here are so good! And they have seasonal adult drinks yummm!!! I had the spiked horchata and it was delicious! Unfortunately the tacos were so good I didn't get a picture. I had the Akaushi picodilla and they were sooo good. The house salsa has just the right amount of kick!

Tenia O.

Yelp

Yet another Austin transplant placed on Washington Ave. It's a good place to grab some tacos. I've mostly had the breakfast tacos, but they've been ok. Their focus is the farm to table, fresh and better for you approach. Hence the slightly higher price range. I will say you can taste the difference. Menu has a very good number of vegetarian options; more than I've seen at most taco houses. And many can be made vegan style upon request. You can order from the standard menu, but there's also a "taco of the day" option. I like their salsa dona. It's hot, but has pretty good flavor. Service was good. Coffee pretty good. It's a different option if you don't want the general Tex-Mex style of taco. IMO it's better than Torchy's taste wise, but the same as being a bit much on price points. Give them a try for sure if you're in the area.

Gia C.

I haven't been here in years since we moved from houston. It's an Austin based taco place like torchy is. Parking is one way so be careful in the parking lot since there is that rush coming off washington. This is during Covid so there was not a line when ordering so that was good. I love seeing the options of salsa levels and I normally don't use salsa but my weak self was able to handle level 3 the green one out of 4 hot levels. I usually get breakfast tacos, and you can custom build your own if you are on a certain diet. I love the cute decor around, like the tables. And staff was nice and cool asking if things are good.

Meh. Taco Deli earns a mediocre star from me. I first tried this chain in Austin, TX. That time, we had the breakfast tacos and they were pretty decent. This time, I tried a Houston, TX location for lunch. Not very impressed I'm afraid. Everything was just ok. The Tacoloco: This was decently good, but a little on the spicy side. I got it with a corn tortilla. The brisket was actually kind of dry which was disappointing. Rating: 3 The Shrimposito: While the flavor of the shrimp was actually good on this one, it did not pair well with a corn tortilla! I think they should really recommend a flour tortilla with this one. Basically, thy shrimp was so wet that the corn tortilla just ripped and I was left eating my taco with a fork. Not ideal. Rating: 3 I guess I understand the appeal of this place. Especially for the younger patrons (age group 20s-30s) that they appear to appeal to. The service of being able to order online and then go in quickly and grab it, is definitely nice. I just think the food is mediocre though. I think I would rather spend my money on Torchy's. Follow me on my way to Foodietown! http://britneygfoodie.yelp.com

I wish the barbacoa taco was available all week! It's all I want to eat right now. Some other tacos are hit or miss for me, but that's probably good to accommodate different people. The salsas are the bomb!

Matt G.

Yelp

To be honest. I am not sure what everyone is on about here. Torchy's annihilates this place...and that is not say much because any little hole in the wall Taco truck annihilates Torchy's. Much like Hopdoddy and more often than not, like anywhere from Austin, it will get rave reviews from the hipster crowd who are not willing to admit...it just isn't that good. I like spice, but their least spicy sauce was enough to make the entire table boycott it. I want to taste my food...not be intentionally hurt by it. The Frontera Chicken taco was in a word...bland. I don't know how you have that many ingredients in a taco and it still need the aforementioned painful salsa to add any flavor...but hurt myself I did. Just to feel something. The Akaushi Picadillo was an interesting read but ended up tasting like pot roast on a tortilla. While this may sound and actually did taste good...it is not what I expect from a taco place. That would be like my wife making her awesome pot roast on a midsummer day and handing you a tortilla and telling you to get to work...My response would be "What?!?" Anything that came on a corn tortilla was inedible by hand. Somehow the cooks programmed their corn tortillas to commit suicide and explode about 1 second before you can actually bite into the taco. Nothing but a bloody mess of carnage that must now be eaten by fork and knife. Though the flavor is the same...something about eating a taco...off a fork...seems like trying to eat soup with your fingers. It is just...wrong. This place then. It is like claiming something is superior because it is slightly less worse...it just makes no sense. Go to any taco truck. Not only will it be better, it will be 1/4 the price.

Tacodeli simply rocks!!! Tacodeli is an underrated fusion taco joint in Houston. It originally came from Austin so I guess people think only hipsters eat here or whatever, but don't hate this place till you try it! Tacodeli has a great menu with lots of variety. It's conveniently divided between chicken, pork, beef, seafood, and vegetarian tacos so there is something for everyone. They also have a daily specials menu which features a different taco each day of the week. My friend and I decided to try their Frontera fundido sirloin, taco Pierre, delibelly, chile relleno, tacoloco, shrimposito, and pollo en mole. Everything was fresh, well seasoned, and delicious. One thing that really brings this place over the top is their SAUCES! They have a salsa verde mild, salsa roja medium, salsa dona hot, and a salsa habanero hottest. These salsas are the real deal! They really make their tacos pop with flavor. My favorites were the salsa dona because it's hot but super creamy, and the salsa habanero because it really packs a punch but has this nice sweet after taste. Don't be afraid to bring the heat to your tacos! Overall this place rocks and I can't wait to come here again! The service is quick, the restaurant is clean, and you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Wash down your meal with a nice kickin kombucha and you're set to have a great day.
