Almost forgot to leave a review. Was just in town ans wanted something different that I couldn't get back home. No places like this by me. I will have to say. The icecream here is amazing. The pistachio was loaded in actual pistachios and the coconut omg...2 of my favorite icecreams and your is the best I've ever had. If there was a thousand stars I could rate this place you would have them maxed out. Trust me if I'm here again I'll be stopping in.

I got there 30 minutes after they closed, and the door was locked. (I didn’t realize they were closed I just pulled up in my car randomly one night) They saw me at the door and didn’t hesitate to open it and ask me what i wanted even though they were technically closed. I told them i was sorry and didn’t want to bother them if they were closed but they were so nice and said “don’t worry about it, what would you like” i got 3 ice cream bars to try and make it easy, and they were so delicious. These people are very nice and will go above and beyond for you! Thank you again

This spot has charm you can't fake in all the right ways. The food was straight-up delicious, made with high-quality ingredients, and the customer service was great Like I always say: "If the corn isn't done well, nothing else is probably done well." But here? The corn was perfect-so I already know the rest of the menu I haven't tried hits the spot too. A true gem and they sell hand made tortillas
