The food is delicious here! I highly recommend getting their fajitas. The jalepeno margarita is super yummy too. Marcia, our server, was incredibly nice. We enjoyed having her as our server!

I absolutely love this restaurant. The burritos are fantastic; loaded with cheese just the way I like them, and the raspberry iced tea is to die for. They also serve my favorite wine here (Moscato), and my favorite soda (Dr. Pepper). And when I came here last, they had the Phillies game on, and the whole restaurant cheered when the Phillies beat the Nationals.

Most tables have need to be bussed. Only 3 people working as server, greeter and bartender. My water glass still had dirt in the inside. Was given food and had to wait for silverware. Fail. Wont be back .
