Our second time visiting here. A hidden gem as they say, the appetizers, chips N salsa and our main dish were all great. A must stop if you are driving through the area. They even offer taco Tuesdays 🌮! The hostess and waiting staff all worked together to make sure everyone dinning in enjoyed our time.

Everyone at my table said their food was salty but I didn't get that.
