Customer kvon taicho raves about the tacos, describing them as “stuffed to the brim” with excellent quality ingredients.

Ordered the 3 amigos tacos this morning which includes 1 each of bacon, chorizo, and breakfast sausage and they are not messing around over there. These tacos were stuffed to the brim. Excellent quality and fresh ingredients and the chile in the Pico de Gallo on it actually had a kick to it which is very rare to find. Needless to say they were delicious. Highly recommend this place and the staff is very friendly.

We stumbled on this place through Google reviews and I’m so glad we decided to stop by! Jennifer and Yvette were SO friendly and greeted us right when we walked in. Jennifer showed us around and told us we could play games and hang out, then Yvette came by and let us sample some drinks! We ordered food which was made to order: I got the garlic wings and my husband ordered the granddaddy which were waffles with bacon, sausage, and eggs. They mentioned that they buy their produce and groceries that morning so it’s as fresh as possible, but they also do everything in-house. Their wings sauce don’t come from a bottle, it’s actually made in the restaurant that morning. There was the old school Nintendo along with a PS4 that was free to play. Additionally, you can draw all over the walls to “leave your mark” and it was just so fun! We had a blast sitting, chatting, and eating and we’re definitely going to come back! Highly recommend this small business!

We have been going to Optimus Oligarchy for a couple of weeks since they opened. We love the relaxed, fun atmosphere with the great food. We easily spend hours here hanging out, playing games while eating/drinking. This is THE spot for wings y’all.

This establishment represents all that the word "culture" is meant to connote - It is both timely and essential - if you believe business can and should serve a higher purpose than blind consumerism - there's a seat waiting for you here.

This cafe is a hidden gem. The food is well worth the price and is handmade. The a/c had went out because of the extreme heat, however, the staff were so accommodating and created a comfortable environment. They have open art walls and public gaming consoles- which is fun for the weekend. Definitely visit for a great experience!!

Hidden gem on 1960. Staff were amazing and place has a chill vibe which is perfect for hanging out and playing one of the free board games they have available. The good is amazing, we had one of their pizzas and it was full of delicious, fresh vegetables and it was feast for two people. We are definitely going back!
