13 tables seated when I arrived, not packed, but not slow. Within in 6 min, I had drinks and chips n salsa in front of me, ordered my appetizer and entree, 3 chips and 2 sips in, and my appetizer is here with the entree hot on its tail. I travel all over for my job, and in love finding Mexican restaurants and trying their take on chilli collorado, this place nailed it, different than most but excellent. I would of taken a pic but it was gone before I thought of it. Everything...

We tried this because someone had said it was good and they were not wrong. The service was excellent The food was amazing. We love hot sauce and they brought us multiple types of homemade hot sauces that were so good. Everything that was outstanding and delicious. Definitely going to have to go back sooner than later!

Our family frequents this restaurant. The food is always delicious and the staff has never been anything but nice. Service can fluctuate as in any restaurant, I'm sure, but we have never had a bad time here.
