The main seating area is quite nice, down the hall from the kitchen and counter. The waiter was hustling to get everyone taken care of, he was the only one working the night I was there. And even though he was getting busy, he was very friendly and helpful.

Ordered a strawberry margarita which was just okay in my opinion. I wouldn't order again.

For the food, I had high hopes given all the other reviews, however, I felt like it was over...

Best quesadilla I have ever eaten! Flavors so good. It was a homemade corn Tortilla filled with shrimp and pablano peppers n cheese. Soooooo good. Came with beans and rice. Everything fresh and delicious. Will definitely be back!

Good food, came here in a recommendation. We got the taco dinner plate and a burrito.
We ordered down stairs, and they brought it up to the roof top seating. It was a beautiful day to sit outside, even though we were up on the roof someone came up to check on us and see if we needed anything. The tacos were very good, tortillas seem house made. Everything had a good flavor and service was great!
