Cozy Mexican restaurant, with homemade tortilla chips. There beans and rice had a delicious flavor, with a hint of corn. We all had tacos, the kids loved them, and we did to. I just wish the lighti g was a little better. It was kind of hard for me to read the menu, as I'm an older person. But overall, it was a great experience. Highly recommend.

This was a top notch experience. The food was fantastic. We loved the variety of the menu including some very unique and delicious drinks, appetizers, entrees and desserts. Additionally, the service was excellent and extremely friendly. Our server (Jose Guerrero) was great, as was the general manager (Andy). We enjoyed talking with them both. Our water glasses were never empty. We will definitely be returning.
