The menu is beyond reasonable, the portions are amazing, flavorful and simply delicious. The best part- the staff truly enjoy their restaurant. They make the patrons welcome and go above and beyond to satisfy anyones request or need.

The restaurant provides free chips and salsa but we always add the guac, which is really good. Our favorite dish Is the triple fajitas (chicken, steak and shrimp)! The portion is large, sizzling and cheesy! The staff is friendly and attentive. Bring your own margaritas and enjoy!!

Ordered via door dash and took 2 times but wasn't door dash issue.
The empanadas tasted very under-cooked.
Ordered a salad bowl and got tortillas instead with sides of rice and beans.
