Our server was amazing. Answered all of our questions correct and vivid. She also made us feel comfortable and her vibe was energetic and positive friendly didn’t catch her name correctly but she attended me and my family on my birthday celebration. Food was incredible! Top notch and also the dill pickle margarita with tajin rim 10/10 would be coming back definitely.

We came here for our anniversary dinner and had a great time. The atmosphere is relaxed but lively. I enjoyed the gluten free appetizer options- specifically the jalapeno poppers. They were delicious. My only disappointment was that none of the tacos are marked gluten-free except for the 'American' ones that consist of ground beef. I was hoping to have some tacos al pastor for dinner but ended up getting the birria bowl. Thankfully it was well prepared and had lots of flavor so I was okay without my tacos. My husband ordered the mezcal and I got the horchata- we were both very happy with the taste of our drinks. The service was friendly and fast. We would definitely eat here again.

We loved the ambience of this former mill. They did an excellent job of re-purposing the building. A wall of plants adds warmth to the industrial chic interior. We shared a delicious classic margarita and munched on homemade chips and smokey salsa while we reviewed the menu. Jalapeño poppers and a small order of guacamole kicked off our early dinner. My husband really enjoyed the poppers and we both liked. the guacamole ( enough to take home). A trio of al pastor tacos with black beans made my husband very happy and there is enough for lunch. I selected the Americana trio with Spanish rice which was delicious and there was enough for lunch the next day. Our wait person was polite prompt and efficient. Net - a great dining experience that will be added to our Hickory rotation.
