Very reasonably priced food. Service and food is always good. The Sunday brunch is amazing! Chips and salsa are FREE! The Salsa isn't always great but it is still free. I haven't had a bad experience yet. Food is delicious, well priced, and served fast. Wait staff are all friendly and courteous. I never order anything without making changes to the dish. They have never screwed up my order. I highly recommend this establishment.

I wanted to give a huge shout out to Loren and Mari! We had an event in their party room today and they were so awesome to work with. G, David And the rest of the staff took care of everything so perfectly. The food was delicious and they were so easy to work with. I would definitely recommend this restaurant as a great place to host a small event. We had around 50 people and it was just perfect. We will definitely be using them again. Highly recommend! Five stars all the way!

What a pleasant surprise! My sister and I try different Mexican places everytime I come to visit. Very rarely to we tell each other that we must come back here again. This is a MUST!!! Great beer selection too. Our host 'G' was such a delight.
Vegetarian options: I had the Healthy veggie quesadilla Spinach mushroom Zucchini tomato avocado and cheese was excellent.
