We utilized their upstairs area for a small 15 person baby shower and it was absolutely perfect!! The waitress and staff were so helpful in letting us set up early. Being so attentive during by filling drinks, providing large bowl of chips and salsa for self serve for each guest and the food was amazing! I highly recommend and we will definitely be back. Thank you for helping make it all special and seamless!

The chips and salsa were a sure sign the food would be delicious. I recommend the carne asada plate. The perfect balance of rice, beans, and carne asada.

It took over 25 minutes to even get a drink. Food was awful. Queso was worse then melted Velveeta, tostada had no flavor and shell was stale. 0/10 do no recommend
