The Carnitas are amazingly delicious and the mango margarita is so refreshing and my go to drink there. We sat in their outdoor patio overlooking the golf course which was an added plus. Need to try their brunch menu soon!
Nice view of golf course!
The patio has great views. My server was very prompt and courteous.
The vibes are fantastic here. The ice cream is nice-nice.
The chips and salsa that they serve you whilst you wait for your food is a real nice touch. I thoroughly enjoyed that as other places tend to be stingy with the chips.
People in my party raved about the birria consume and tacos. I had the La Bandera—it was a taste of everything right with this place.
