Very crowded and loud with construction workers. Food was burnt, both chicken nuggets and fries. We will not return.

Food is pretty decent. Interesting menu, although the food itself does not always live up to the description. The truffle burger tastes like a normal (albeit well-made) burger. The Tarheel burger is pretty good, although it has a miniscule amount of chili in it. Onion rings are great.Server was incredibly nice and accommodating, although she looked like the only person working, so service was a little slow to start.

Trying too hard to do burgers, no wait .. pizza... nope.. sorry ... tacos? How about Greek, and Korean fusion... just kidding-- you get it. ; service is friendly but a caveat: it is hard to be authentic when playing around with too many cuisines. Do one thing , something that no one else features and do it really, I mean really well-- and you'll have a goldmine.

Very solid food. Service was good and friendly though understaffed. It felt a little pricey for the area but perhaps because of the college town. Fyi the onion rings were amazing!

Great, local eats. Try out the newer menu items that feature birria tacos. Burgers and fries don’t disappoint. Fries sprinkled with coarse salt.Burgers are juicy and perfectly cooked. Plenty for kids and adults alike. The owners are expanding to the space next door and should be a nice addition for larger group outings.Kid-friendliness: Food options - chicken tenders and fries on-point. Not overly breaded and have a great flavor.

Great food and service, friendly atmosphere. They recommended a spicey sauce I fell in love with and was already in love with the truffle one. It's always worth the money and a must-have when im in the area. **please add jalapeños to the burger topping selection ? **

It is a cool concept with the fusion of burgers/hot dogs and Mexican food. My experience here was mid. The place is pretty small inside - maybe 5 tables inside but I could see the outside seating being more beneficial (it was 40oF and dark so inside was the only choice). They do have a nice bar area and even serve some quality draft beer. Our food took longer than expected to arrive. The place was not very busy on a Monday evening and the other two tables already had food when we arrived, so I was expecting the food to come pretty quick (especially since we just ordered tacos). The tacos were tasty. The Al pastor tacos looked more empty than the fish tacos. The Al pastor tacos flavor was nice and I enjoyed the sauce on the side, but the taco wasn't filled very well. I was told the fish tacos were scrumptious and very tasty. I feel like the tacos needed a side of chips or something else to go with them especially if you aren't filling the tortillas very well. Suggestion: but I even think serving free chips and salsa could lighten the environment up some and keep customers happy. Overall 3/5 stars. Nice server, tasty food, just wished food had come sooner out of kitchen and tacos were a little more full so I wasn't practically eating half a tortilla.

It's not really a "fusion" restaurant, but a "bunch of random things on a menu" restaurant. And none of them came out particularly well. Taco meat was dry, beans were chalky, and burgers were overdone.The music was very loud and it was difficult to have a conversation, and then there was *different* loud music blasting from the kitchen in this very tiny space.They have a nice tap list, some fun eclectic art, and the staff was friendly, but I can't see myself making a return visit.

If you want decent service with bland tasteless food then this is the place for you! I’ll leave it at that.

When I first researched this place, it had a different name than it does now... maybe new management? Ambiance was odd on the patio... poor lighting and awkwardly quiet. The menu was a mix of bbq and Mexican, so we settled for BBQ. The food was alright. They specifically ask for temperature for your burger but fail to meet (I could hear the other table complaining, again, awkwardly quiet). Add two to the doneness, as it will come it lower than you ask. Overall, it was hard to enjoy while awkwardly being able to hear each crunch of a tortilla chip from the mouth of the man two tables over.

Service was good. Cheerful and attentive. The food was very pedestrian. We had the pretzels for an appetizer. Not very good. I had the chicken quesadilla. Again, not good. It was soggy and the chicken was sweetened. Cheese, jalapeños were nonexistent. Wife had a cheddar burger. It was very good aside from the cheese looking/tasting a lot like American slices.

Placed an online order through their website. The food was not ready at pick up time. After waiting for 15 minutes, I was informed that they did not receive my online order and told me to wait for another 15 minutes. When I checked the order before I left, it was missing one dish. When I got home, I noticed they did not give me the tartar sauce for my fish & chips so I had to go back. You better order by phone and check your order before leaving. Food was alright. Do better.

Our first time here - delish! Great local craft beer, our orders of fish tacos and Sierra Vista hot dog with fried jalapeños were amazing, and I always appreciate a great handcut fry addition. We’ll be back!
