“Hacienda Los Guayabos Mexican Grill is a quaint and highly-rated restaurant in the area. The menu offers a good variety of Mexican dishes, including dragon shrimp, churros, and nachos, with generous portions and fresh, flavorful ingredients. The atmosphere is low-key and family-friendly, making it a popular choice among locals.”

“Fiesta Pollo is a Mexican restaurant known for its amazing food, though it may be a bit more expensive than other similar establishments. The service is excellent, and customers have the option of takeout or delivery. A popular choice is the guacamole, either to share or as a meal, and the queso birria tacos are highly recommended. The salsa verde from the salsa bar is a nice addition to cool down some bites. Among the dishes tried are the Birria quesadilla pizza, pork tamale, chunky guacamole, and a breakfast platter. The pork tamale and guacamole were delicious, while the quesadilla pizza had too much cheese and not enough meat flavor. The breakfast platter was large and well-liked. The complimentary salsa bar is a nice touch, but the low placement makes it a bit awkward for shorter individuals to access.”

“Uncle D's Grill serves some of the best BBQ, with crispy and well-seasoned thighs that taste smoked and fried at the same time. Their fries are also a highlight, possibly the best you'll ever have.

The crispy pork and chicken are also highly recommended. With its welcoming atmosphere and hardworking owners, Sawatdee Thai Seafood is a must-visit for Thai food lovers. However, be sure to double-check the prices on the menu to ensure accuracy.”

Some employees stand out for their great service, while others lack in friendliness and hospitality.”
