My partner and I stopped in for a quick bite. Our absolute favorite was the mini chicken burrito. We were fighting over the last bite!!! We’re looking forward to going back and trying the rest of the menu. Cheers!!

Never a bad experience! ALWAYS great food, service and atmosphere! If you like spicy, try the tacos sombreros! You won’t go wrong with any dish tho! Good luck getting super full on the amazingly fresh chips & salsa! Oh ya…..save room for dessert! I love the flan, my husband likes the bunelos.
Wheelchair accessibility: My husband is in a wheelchair and has never had an issue in this fine establishment!

One of my favorite places. Great food, a lot of new things on the menu since I last went. Servers are always polite and helpful, even when they’re swamped. A lot of loud background noise, but it’s a restaurant/bar so it’s to be expected.
