Very good foods and fair prices! We like it a lot!Friendly service, the only problem is when you sit outside try to enjoy the sun, they allowed the customers to smoke in there, which is kind of weird to smell someone smoke while you’re eating.

I know this place has almost a cult following, but I simply don't understand why. Don't get me wrong, the staff is friendly, and the food is warm and fresh, but I believe it is overpriced, in a highly competitive Mexican food restaurant. While very friendly, servers are slow, and literally too relaxed / casual. I don't advise you stop in unless you have extra time to kill.....and it definitely was not a busy time....very few customers when I visited ( group of 4 ). I think the " regulars " keep this place open; many 1st timers wouldn't come back.

My all time favorite dining experience in Dayton area not to mention the best margarita anywhere....i always get it "golden" and ask for a shot of grand marnier to add to it. I always order baby Portobello mushroom fajitas n as always they're to die for! Atmosphere is awesome as well as the staff!
Foods amazing. People are nice. Definitely go once! Real cheese on the nachos yesssss!

The food is great, and the menu has something for everyone, but it's all about the patio. Always a great vibe, even late at night with the rain coming down..
