I have been a few times and find this one of the best Mexican restaurants in town. One item that stands out to me is the chicken fajitas. They actually grill a whole piece of chicken and then cut it up....just seems much higher quality than the typical fajita dish. Service is great, atmosphere is similar to most others. Prices are reasonable.

Very comfortable atmosphere. Food is fresh and so yummy!! And the staff are just excellent. Thank you, Sylvia's!!

Tons of flavor and not greasy. The prices are very fair. We...
