We eat here frequently. We love it.
Been going here for 30 plus years. Fernando and the kids(now adults). are Great people. you feel like you are going to a family dinner when you go here. main portion of food is gigantic and the sides are of good portions as well. I highly recommend this business. but on the sad side. the Bennett family is morning the loss of Franando's devoted wife and mother of his children. my her soul watch over him, as well as RIP.
So we have tried for weeks and unfortunately we show up on Monday . Today is Wednesday and we made it. We had the fajitas and I gotta tell ya it’s enough food for two. Beef was very flavorful and Beans and rice spot on. Mom had the eggplant parmigiana and she loved it! Service was excellent and the place is very clean.
We will be back next time we come out to see the inlawas again.
Ya know $20 for beef fajitas is a deal in my book…
