Great service! Good food! Excellent happy hour! From the outside it looks like a pricer place than it is so don't let it's appearance throw you off. This is a casual eatery but a step up from your average Mexican restaurant. ...Read More

Excellent food. Limited wait staff this Friday night. The waitress was very polite but overworked. The restaurant was packed with only a few wait staff. The food was worth the wait!

Been coming here for roughly 2 years for $2 Taco Tuesdays. Sometimes the service can be kinda slow but the staff is always amazing. I appreciate their servers & cooks for always putting up with our odd requests lol.
