The was food was great the experience was good, upntonthe point where the hostess, yes, the hostess asked us to leave when we were done eating because others were waiting. The server that we had was great, I was about two sips into my second beer, and she asked if we were done eating and said that we needed to leave. Then asked us to talk to the manager after we said we want to to ha e another drink.

Came here for lunch. We ordered some tacos while our friends got the beef steak plates instead.

The tacos themselves were alright and a bit on the smaller side. I can’t say I would get them again.

The steak plates were definitely more tasty. The steak itself was a bit thin but large in size.

The chips and salsa were probably my favorite food item here. Keep in mind you get the first order of chips and salsa complimentary...

This spot is a gem! The food was amazing, especially the steak tacos, which were absolutely superb. Perfectly seasoned and juicy, they hit the spot. The vibe was laid-back and lively, just the kind of energy you want with great food. The service was also top-notch, friendly, fast, and attentive. Can’t wait to go back!
