★★★★★ 5.0 Quito Barajas · Jan 2026

Small business with a game room. You know how Stranger Things makes the 80s feel like you could go out to eat, to the mall, or an arcade, and everyone would be so friendly you could chat it up with anyone? Yeah, this is like that. Michael is a friendly owner in his 30s. I like that this isn't (nerd/ geek) performative. Visiting feels very much like staying at a friend's house. In fact, his wife designed everything. He has a $12 wings special that comes with fries and a drink. His burgers are also amazing. When you enter, you'll come in through the main restaurant, like a casual order and sit-down. But instead of sitting down, you should go into the loft. This is their game room. There's a couch for people to sit on and some bar seats as well. You have options of PS4, GameCube, and VHS.

What other place can I sit down with my 10 year old son and play Mario Kart on n64 and eat Tajin dry rub chicken wings and have really balanced tasty Fusion burgers? Such a dope spot with great food. If you’re born 1980-90 you’re gonna love it.

Okay INCREDIBLE. Their burgers here are delicious. Been following them since they were behind Harland Bay Park. I really love how they test and try different things with their burgers. Right now my faves are the Oyama and the Sera special.

★★★★★ 5.0 Lina · Feb 2026

I loved the food, vibes, and the space is super aesthetic! The Oyama burger is my favorite and the Cypher wings are my go-to during their happy hours!

I had to leave a review because this place is so good. I had the grilled chicken sandwich and the curry fries my wife had the burger. What a winner. Everything was so fresh and flavorful. The vibe is laid back and feels like home. We sat in the loft and listened music and enjoyed the atmosphere. Definitely will be on our list of local places to eat.
