Food was not that great. Overpriced. I was disappointed. Rice was sticky and stuck together. No flavor in the food.

Very nice secluded place and still lively with lights, soft music and good taste. Plenty of parking as it is located just a short distance from Genoas busy main strip off of 23 but set back in the strip mall. It has a great patio area and plenty of indoor climate control seats.
Food was fresh, good and to be able to say. The beans and rice taste just like or better than home made. Fresh soft and not heated or left out as most restaurants can some times be. The tacos are loaded with meat and there is plenty of sauce too. If drinks are your favorite, margaritas in a flight and mescal mules! I say yes, and yes!!
Stop by and meet Francisco and Kristina, my 1st time there and I can say I will be back. Great host and great atmosphere, food and drinks!

Sadly the service here is terrible. We had been going here once a week for a very long time as there are not many options in the area. The food is decent, but since the service is horrible, we will never be back. Good luck.

I’m not going to overstate what has been said on numerous reviews. This evening was my wife and my first and probably last visit. My burrito was bland and extremely overcooked. The shrimp cocktail had only 6-pieces of shrimp and tasted rank amateur at best. The prices were equal with a fine dining restaurant and this place isn’t. The floors were filthy and the place was super staffed and therefore shouldn’t be. All in all a very poor value. $72.00 without tip and $87.00 with tip. I simply can’t justify that much for such a fast food quality. Sorry, but never again.
