Stopped in for lunch recently and had a pretty good experience. We arrived about 11:45am and did not have to wait for a table for 4. Several of us in our party ran into people we knew already eating or waiting for their meal to come. I was a bit overwhelmed with the amount of items on the menu. We asked what the special was and the waitress said what it was- however it was different than what was written on the board up front. I was surprised that the lunch specials did not include a egg roll or a cup of soup. We did order a couple appetizers- deep fried egg rolls and the crab rangoons. They were fantastic. When you order your dish you can say how spicy you want it to be. I ordered the Angry Dish "Hot" with chicken. The dish was pretty good- at first I thought the sweet basil was overpowering but as I took my last bite, I knew I would be back. They were busy and we did have to flag our server a couple times for refill of our drinks and the bill. So if you are in a hurry- you may want to arrive before or after the lunch crowd. Check out the menu before you go.
Never met a Taco I did not like.
