Had a great time. It's a nice setting & vibe.

The margaritas were a hit 🥂.

4 stars because the food is simple and delicious! I also love that the menu is small and VERY AFFORDABLE!! Service is quick and the waiters/waitresses are perfect!

But the food is filling and you will have a good experience!
