Went on Sunday afternoon. First timer.Sour cream Chicken Enchiladas:Meh. Fairly bland and flavorless. Particularly the sour cream sauce which usually has more character. The chicken itself was not the shredded low grade you sometimes get but definitely had little flavor. Also it was not tender...Read More

Great food. Good service when it's not busy. In fact food comes out quick. It's hot and fresh! When they are busy it loses the quality of service. This isn't a place that focuses on detail. It's bare bones tex-mex that does it well. Alcoholic...Read More
