Amazing first time here! Santos was our bartender, and he was so sweet, also refilled our chips and salsa without us ever having to ask. The food was exceptional, hot, full of flavor!

So this team goes above and beyond. DoorDash messed up on a few levels, and this team brought me personally the missing items. It was really sweet. Now I am a customer for life. Thank you again for going above and beyond.
