Yaaaa'll today was my second time eating here. I can't remember what I ate my first vist. Today I ordered 1 grilled chicken quesadilla and one steak and added light onions. I ate the chicken first, I stopped eating and called the restaurant to tell them how good of a job they did. The chicken is so seasoned. I asked the guy if I could have the meat seasoned (due to most restaurants not seasoning) and he told me no. I see why, if you haven't tried them yet, please do‼

Recently renovated this place is very easy on the eyes. The food deserves an extra star but it only goes up to 5. The drinks are much grande, and the price is reasonable!

Okay, I do not give many five stars at all. But my wife and I went here and ate. Was we very surprised! The food was amazing! The meat inside of my burrito was VERY tender! I do not mind going 15 or 20 minutes out of my way to eat at a good restaurant like this. Please, if you get a chance to stop in, try it!

Great service, friend staff. Meals were a mix between the typical Mexican fare and many House specials. Generous portions that were not overpriced.

I absolutely love this place. On our first visit, my husband and I were impressed from the moment we walked in. It has recently been renovated. It's colorful and comfortable. We were seated quickly. Our drink orders when taken as we were given our menus. As our drinks were delivered we also got fresh made chips and salsa. They made them in small batches everyday. Once we ordered we were able to chat, but not for long since the food came out quickly. I got the nachos supreme with ground beef, and they were amazing. The meat was flavorful. The guacamole was also homemade. My husband got the Molcajete, it has steak and chicken and shrimp and peppers and onions and I don't even remember what else. It's a lot of food. And everything was so tasty and flavorful. We've been back 2 more times, each as wonderful, and tasty, as the first. The staff are genuinely polite and helpful. The manager has made a point to speak to us every time we've come in. Don't miss out on this amazing restraunt.
