The best place in town, the owner Javier will make you feel like family! The service is always excellent and the clientele make it even better. Hit up the bar and you will leave with new friends.

Nothing in particular stood out and that's why I rated it this way.
I'm from Colorado and we have some amazing Mexican food, so I might be a little spoiled.
