Hidden jem. Literally the best Mexican food around. Like Javier's without the ridiculous pricing. Fun atmosphere, lots of TV's and great staff. Good for both watching a game or families.

WOW ! Blown away with the wonderful food and service. We ordered guacamole and chips and it was the BEST fresh guacamole I've EVER had. The Short Rib Ramen Soup was amazing, our drinks were perfect and the service was great as well. We will definitely be coming back... alot !

This is a great place to catch any sports event. The staff are great, and the food is absolutely awesome for the price point. The service and atmosphere make it hard to watch sports at home...
