Literally four chips for a kids reverse nachos is absolutely insane, on top of not even including the queso for our second order. Will never be back again.
Great selection of liquor, bartender suggested an awesome cocktail. Definitely will go back
This place is 100 times better than Chipotle omg! Queso on point 💨🔥! They don’t put excessive sour cream(iykyk)! The spice isn’t crazy but so tasty! You gotta try this place out for sure!
