Such a lovely family vibe restaurant. Best salsa, best margaritas, best Mexican food in the area. Servers are great! Jose did a wonderful job, and if you’re lucky you may even get to see an Avila! Family is what this place is all about, and you can feel it right when you enter. Also they do a great happy and a Taco Tuesday. This is your go to spot!
