This place is totally awesome!
We went on a Friday night, around dinner time and originally only wanted to just have an appetizer and maybe a couple of drinks... well, it wound up becoming more - based on the service, appetizer, we decided to stay longer.

We had a Spinach salad and a Tortilla soup as appetizers - generous portions BTW - then proceeded to have some entrees... Highly recommended

Luna is a great bartender. Nachos del Rancho were good with pastor. Drinks were in point. Will be back for another happy hour session, mainly because the bartender is attentive, welcoming, and good at what he does.
