This place has been several different restaurants throughout the last couple years. This is it's most recent change & I can say it's the best improvement thus far. Good staff & the food has improved as well. I think I'll be going back this time.

It was ok it was cold inside and at first the server was nice but she gave us an attitude from there on I just didn't want to be there anymore we ordered not expensive stuff which we thought it was not expensive but when we got the bill it was over $60 I don't think that's cheap We might not go again When we walked in we saw a lot of tables available but they told us to wait like a few minutes we waited maybe 2 or 3 minutes

Cute place. We got the pozole tacos and a chicken quesadilla. The taco was really good and the quesadilla was basic, the 3 sauces that come with it were the best part. Husbands mai Thai was huge and yummy.
