I attended a new year's night as I was invited by a friend who works here (disclaimer given) to a themed space party. The decor was nicely done and everybody was dressed up accordingly. I was happy to see people take it seriously and was told the establishment does hold regular programming.

I was introduced to the crew who were all a nice set of people. Given they had a show to run, we said our pleasantries and off they went making other people merry. Let my friend do the ordering. There was an event menu. We first got oysters and some skewers, both of which were nice and tasty. The star of the night was the dessert shaped like an egg shell with a wine jelly.

The live dj and music was popping and we both danced and enjoyed the music. So with drinks and two appetizers and one dessert and the music/theme was a night well spent.

what you see is what you get. quick service and relatively "fast food" that fills you up depending on the amount of white sauce you put on it..

I ordered the combo to sample both beef and chicken and the latter is much better. The taste is plain and if you want to add zing you buy extra options. Overall damage was 11.99 + tax for the regular bowl which was a sizable portion. I am regretting putting more white sauce on it and need to walk off the extra heaviness

here are things to love about margaritas. Great location (next to Charles river with outdoor seating till winters) and ambiance and wonderful service. These aren't going to change so let's take the constant. At some point though I would imagine the lights and the ambiance would start feeling dated.

now we ordered fish tacos, burrito supreme, "margaritas" - I ordered the black cherry and my friend the mango. We then followed with dessert with me ordering churros and her fried ice cream. My friend liked her food, but I thought it was just ok. Caveat was that both of us were not as hungry when we ordered.

Here is what worked. The quantity of the burrito was great, it was cheesy and a full meal. However the sabor/flavor was slightly mild/bland. The burrito was too soggy/drenched for my liking. The churro chocolate sauce left much to be desired. The quantity was okay but the taste and runniness is something that could be improved. The margaritas had a kick but perhaps would have served to have alone rather than with food.

That said I wish I would have given feedback to the staff but was engaged in conversation plus it was a birthday treat for me, and if the host liked the food, i didn't want to come across as critical.

Was my first foray into Somerville and cycled my way in. I was greeted at the door by a burly but friendly guy and walked into patrons singing and saw a proper stage with instruments and a singer.

Walked over to see a buffet style menu with fresh meats being made and some premade dishes and a salad bar. The server got my order for pickup and filled my dish which had corn, chicken, salad, rice and beans and fried plantain. It was flavorful and not spicy and I wolfed down my order in no time. The dish did have a lot of plantains which aren't my favorite but not that they weren't reasonable.

This branch is in the funky side of Watertown called Arsenal Yards which has a nice uppety feel to it. The location is spacious and the food is given to you in no time. There is both indoor and outdoor seating available. There are two parking zones one near Garbanzo and one near the Roche grocery store.

The food was nice with significant amount of meat. Could have gone with more sauce but can't complain. Was a good first time experience
