We have to fight with them all the time. A Hispanic restaurant is rare and they don't like to serve Hispanics well and now the dishes are too expensive $33 for a Guadalajara in other similar places the same food costs $25

Thanks to the Manager & their staff. I was officianting a wedding on Wed September 25th in the morning outside near the lake & it started pouring.

The manager allowed us to use their space to complete the ceremony out of courtesy.

The guests were so grateful they stayed for lunch and enjoyed the rest of their wedding celebration having lunch with family and friends.

Thank you so much for your kindness.

I've been going here for 10-15 years, and it has always been solid. However, sometime in 2023-2024 or so, management must have changed, or they made drastic changes overall. The portion sizes are now much smaller than before, and we noticed everything was overly salty / sugary. Especially with the fajitas, which used to be my favorites. Hopefully they address this and revert to the way it was before...
