Entrance is from the back of the building, or maybe the front is the back. Plenty of parking.
A very attractive bar area with bar seating and hightops.
The dining room. The interior is very pleasant.
You get complimentary chips and salsa. The chips were good, but the salsa was mostly tomatoes and on the bland side. Nice napkins and good silverware.
They have all the normal offerings, and the prices looked pretty decent until you notice that all proteins are extra. They also have some burgers that looked interesting until I noticed: "add an extra patty for 3.95", so I had to ask how big the patty was? 4 oz was the answer. $13 gets you a 4 oz burger (with fries)! They had street tacos, and they let you mix and match, so I went with the 3 tacos with rice and beans (15.99). You also have a choice of 2 tacos 9.99. First, we have the Banh Mi Taco. "Soy glazed pork belly, sweet mayo, lettuce, fresh jalapeños, cilantro, house made pickles (daikon, red onion, carrots)". It was a good amount of tasty pork belly, but the house made pickles were completely absent. Apart from that, it was very good, and the very lightly charred flour tortilla was super fresh. Secondly, we have the Po-Boy Fish Taco. "Fresh locally caught Redfish (AKA ocean perch) pan blackened, with shredded lettuce, garden relish, chipotle crema". Where do you catch redfish in North Reading? It was not blackened at all but was cooked very nicely, and was very good. Thirdly, we have the Barbacoa Taco. "Barbacoa, with radish slaw, pickled red onion, chipotle crema, queso fresco". No complaints about this one, the meat was tender and tasty. The rice and beans that were served together, was excellent with very nicely seasoned tender beans, and a really nice rice. The service in the bar was pleasant, but they weren't very busy. When I complained about the missing pickles, I basically got no response.
Update 11/23/17: I have been informed that the patties are 5.5oz.
