👍👍 So many options we stopped here twice! Chips and queso is a must get as well as the Flounder Pounder. But all the other tacos are really good. It’s nice that you can order one taco or 4 and try all the different kinds. Multiple locations all over California and a great place to grab a quick bite!

👍👍 Best cappuccino I’ve had so far in Newport Beach / Balboa. Just a quick stop for an afternoon pick-me-up after taking the ferry. At $4.50 it’s not the cheapest, but I would definitely visit again.
