Went for the first time today! Food was absolutely delicious. Furthermore I went with a 6 and 3 yo. They were patient, gave the boys juice boxes, and chips! If you’ve ever been a single parent, bringing kids out to eat is a disaster! Thankfully we went for lunch and I hope the disaster was minimal. But everything from the salsa to our meals was fantastic!! Thank you for dealing with me and the kids ?

Food is good but hit or miss. Went last week and the food was delicious! This week I got the same order and it was just okay. Guess it depends on the cook. Wish I knew what day the cook from last week was working!

The bad: the salsa with the chips and salsa was watered down and just meh, all highlighted buy the chips being solid.
The ugly: the music was pretty loud for basic 4 people in the restaurant on a Saturday between dinner and supper time.
