Excellent customer service today from server Heather. She totally accommodated the fact that I am gluten free and took her time to go over the entire menu with me, and she also made me up a fresh batch of gluten free chips. Heather is so knowledgeable and really kind and patient. i felt really cared for us.A customer and the food was very good too.
traditional Mexican food in a cantina atmosphere. Food and service are great!
This place is great! They have great Mexican dishes with a twist from what you get at other places. The Molly Margarita is amazing, you need to ask if you want salt on the rim. They also have some of the best homemade desert you can find. On top of all of that, the staff there is great! It's a must go.
