This place was awesome
It's 35 minutes from my house, and I plan on going at least once a week.

It's been a long time since I have had enchiladas this good and pretty sure that was in Texas.

Definitely try this place out i bet we rub into each other in going back.

We absolutely love the food, the patio, and the menu with crayons for kids. It is one of our go-to spots in town. My only suggestion is to check the bag before you leave (if you get takeout) and make sure your chips are there. We’ve had a few issues with chips missing.
