Absolutely loved everything. From the margs to the white queso to the amazing food. Our server, Gwen was absolutely outstanding, attentive and on top of everything and made our experience that much better. Will definitely come back!

We came for dinner one night while in town. I had the California burrito, she just had the spicy white queso and chips. She really enjoyed the queso, it was very thick. The burrito was good and a large portion. Seemed like a typical tex-mex place, which I could tell from the menu and is ok with me. Friendly and helpful service. We also ordered margaritas. One large and one smaller. They were good, although I didn't feel like I'd had much tequila after finishing...

I can't believe I never shared my review of this place! My family visited in July 2022 and it was sooo good. We cannot wait to go back. I had the Chili Verde pork, so spicy and delicious and I have not stopped thinking about it. Not only that, but their margaritas are top notch. Save a seat for me, I'm coming back in 2023 my friends. Highly recommend.

Update**
We went here recently (May 2025) and it was even better. The Chile Verde is still...
