My boyfriend and I come here all the time and it never disappoints. I've tried a few things on the menu and they're always great. We have both found what we love and get the same thing every time now. Their queso is the best we've ever had and their food is ALWAYS AMAZING 😍. Definitely try it out for yourselves. We've both tried a lot of different Mexican food places and this one is by far the best!
