Oh man!! This place is a gem!!! I got the El Patron Skillet and it was soooo good with homemade tortillas!!! All the green salsas are my favorite!!! But having a salsa bar is amazing cause you can choose what you like! This was our first time here and we will be back!! We mentioned it was my birthday and they also surprised me with birthday pancake dessert, which was also 🔥
