    Amazing menu and such a cute place. The tradeoff to me is always do I want to sit outside and sweat and hear my companions or sit inside and fight the echo. Outside is so fun & pleasant that it's worth a bit of sweat! And dear God, the biscuits - I will be dreaming about the biscuits crisped to perfection.

    This spot always serves absolute slappers. Got the meatball sub and got through 1/3rd of it. It was so rich and so good. I can never eat another meatball sub, this one has ruined balls of meat, in sandwich form, for the rest of my life. Drinks are always top notch. A staple in my restaurant Rolodex.

    We had an amazing time at the beach tortilla. The food was amazing and everything we remembered from the first time we’ve been there. Our waitress was very energetic, fun, and had great suggestions. Highly recommend the Dan Dan noodles,secret menue wings, and fries.
