What sets this place apart is the lake view, hopping atmosphere and extensive Tex-Mex menu. If they don’t have something tasty you like, then you probably blew off your tastebuds in some sort of tragic industrial accident.

We were on vacation and ate here every night. Food was great, the drinks were the star though. The wait staff was excellent despite being super busy. Highly recommend!!

Great place for some great food. We felt bad for walking in with 12 people at 9.30pm when they close at 10. But they said it was ok and without making a fuss served us asap. Very friendly staff and good food.

The food was fantastic with a great view of the lake. They are always very busy when we go so limited service is expected. We eat here every time my family visits the area.

Phenomenal chair, I leaned back and my back popped like a fire cracker. Rice tasted like a seasoned 2x4 but other than that the food was great.
