I always love my experience here! The wait staff is amazing, thank you Rodi for wonderful service! We will definitely be coming back, for the delicious food and kind wait staff. Also, get the guacamole, sooo good.

My friend and I had a delicious flan, the steak wet burrito, and chicken enchiladas. It was so so good. I loved the burrito and my friend loved the chicken enchiladas. Rodi was so sweet and attentive to our needs, making sure we had what we needed too. Loved it thank you! Glory to God!! ❤️

​The short rib taco was absolutely delicious—the meat was so tender and full of flavor. And the churros? They were the perfect finish. Warm, crispy, and coated in cinnamon sugar. Definitely a must-try!
