This place is a long time favorite of mine and my family! I’ve always had a great experience with the food and service. Tonight I went with my sister, and cousin (+ordered my fiancé food to go) and each of us enjoyed our meals. Definitely would recommend if you’re looking for some good Mexican food, but be prepared to wait for a table because it does get busy!
