Really good local Mexican restaurant. Great location. Excellent service. Food was brought out really fast. Great margaritas. Had an excellent dinner. Loved the atmosphere. Will definitely eat here again.

Super good! We came in for lunch and got a seat right away. It was busy but they still had open seats available. They have an extensive menu, a kids menu, and a pretty robust lunch menu. I got the lunch fajitas and it was not only a HUGE portion, it tasted incredible. They have plenty of parking and outdoor seating is available. Recommended!

We were so excited to try this place out. Margarita was great. My food was 15$ for unseasoned chicken plopped on a corn tortilla, that’s all. I had to assemble everything on my own and the taco hardly came with anything. If chicken is going to be the center of the meal atleast put basic seasoning on it. Cool atmosphere, nice server very disappointed with the food.
