“Wow! I encourage anyone interested in a little taste of really good Mexican food to come visit. We started at a very disappointing BBQ restaurant down the street. The outdoor patio was nearly full, and inside were more festive happy customers. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Food was very delicious. We had the white cheese sauce and Especial Fajita Cielito Para. We were very very satisfied!! We will be returning.”
— Ronald Banister Jr“Great place to have lunch, dinner, and drinks of course. Nice environment, managers and the whole staff are very friendly. Overall clean and good vibes, I noticed big groups and large families in and out enjoying quality time. The patio has a nice touch specially during nice weather and they also have a new updated menu.”
— Jelvir“Wonderful food and friendly staff. Try the molcajetes. It's enough for two and is very good. Great margaritas too!”
