This was not my first time here but it may have been my last. I started with dessert which was the fried cheesecake...as I got ready to eat the second part there was hair under the whipped topping. I any hair. They made me another one to go which should have been free of charge. They did take it off the bill but the problem was that I was even asked did I want it taken off when it should have been comped due to the hair. The chicken wings were delicious...the steak wrap and chicken...

We were staying at the Fairfield Inn behind the restaurant and received a recommendation from the concierge. The service was quick and friendly. The food was authentic, fresh, and delicious. I had the elote and barrillia tacos and my SO had the nachos. The food came quick and was perfection. I also indulged in a strawberry banana margarita. Perfection! We will return on our next trip to Cleveland.
