The drinks are so dang good and refreshing. Food is even tastier with great portions, that don't kill the wallet. Very vigilant service with, fun nice, family oriented people. The atmosphere is radiating with barrio vibes and board games to play with your family while you wait, and great music. I'll definitely be back soon. Thank you

This place is amazing, I was a bit put off by the most recent negative reviews but decided to try it anyways. I'm glad I did, the Sonoran hotdog and drink / elite combo was delicious. My wife got the chili relleno hotdog and loved it. We got the chorizo and cheese fries on top of it, we found out that was too much food for the both of us but didn't care, it was freaking bomb!!! Loved it and definitely coming again!! You guys rock!!

Update since my last visit: The Owner Gabe did great in reaching out and offering for us to try our order correctly. It went great, my aunt got her correct tacos which were the Vampiro Steak tacos she enjoyed them and my bacon jalapeño popper quesadilla with chicken tasted great as well. Even accommodated my request to have the jalapenos on the side so that I could manage the spice level on my own. Definitely would recommend those two items and even their sweet potato fries!...
