The food is good, the service is ok. There is a small terrace. A favorite for my kids. This time I got the mole and it was gooood. My children love the tortilla soup and the quesadilla.

Came for tacos on their Taco Wednesday and it was underwhelming. The carne asada was dry and the fish was a frozen fish rectangle. Definitely from your own opinion, but it was my definition of a good taco. Below mid IMHO.
