Brand new, super clean and excellent service. They brought food to my table and picked up the empty plate. They checked on me while I was eating.Ordered the double chicken taco salad. Tortilla shell was crispy, plenty of tasty chicken, ripe avocado, beans, rice and cilantro dressing. I was very satisfying, fresh and tasty. When in the neighborhood, i'll do this location again!
