This place is close to our house so I keep returning, despite recurring issues. I grew up working corporate owned restaurants so the training was great and maybe that means my standards are a little higher. Seems like the little things need tweaking and then I'd give it a higher score. Even when the place is EMPTY it still takes forever for menus, or the chips and salsa, or the drinks. There is never any music playing so you hear your neighbors conversations or kitchen noise....

The service was outstanding. The food was fresh,and plentyful. The carneasda was very tender, but needed some adobo seasoning. Even salt and pepper would have done the job. Garlic powder even better. My comarone fajitas was tasty. Again fresh, and looked good, but needed at least for me a little bit of heat. The salsas had no heat at all. I will go again and try the red salsa and ask for salt and pepper.
