I wasn't a fan of the original Babalu, but the remodel really changed things for the better! The atmosphere is fun, and the food is delicious without being too heavy; those chicken tacos are a must-try. Whether I'm grabbing lunch or heading out for dinner with friends, the service is always friendly, and the vibe is just right.
