We visited Goode Co. Cantina in the Heights with a large group, and it was such a great experience! The food was excellent—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully done. The standout for me was the cucumber salad—crisp, refreshing, and full of flavor. Despite our group size, the service was impressively fast and friendly, keeping everything running smoothly. Parking was a bit of a challenge, so we ended up finding a spot on the street, but it was absolutely worth the short walk. A fantastic spot for delicious food and a lively atmosphere! - aqueel suleimanji
