Decent food and they keep it warm in the covered patio which was nice. The service was spotty but it was only because there was only one server and the place was packed! I felt so bad for him. He was so nice the entire time despite the fact that it was only him. I really don’t know if I’ll be back because $30 for some tacos and guac is pretty steep, but maybe if I want to treat myself.

We ate at the Santa Monica location. Very good, healthy food and affordable. I wish we had a TFK in Sacramento, or, better yet, Davis, where we live.
