We celebrated our anniversary over great service and outstanding food. Everything sounds and looks amazingly good on the menu. We had the Baca Burger which was scrumptious and their BLT... well that bacon was to die for. My son, soon to be 6yrs old had the children’s cheese burger and it was perfect for a growing boys appetite. He loved it. Thank you Chef Rod and Mado for the delicious experience.
