Wow, stopped here on my way from Louisiana to Indiana. Ordered the Molcajete, it was amazing! The chips and salsa were excellent, the salsa was nice and fresh tasting and not overpowered by cilantro. The service from Fernando was excellent! I will stop here again if I get thru here.

1st time here. Great service. except the server never smiled or said much.Food tast great and large portions. Only complaint is the stake fajitas was tough fatty and grissley. Flavors good but I will do chicken next time. Good chips and salsa. nice atmosphere.
