Love this place! I had the fajita enchiladas which were sooooo delicious! The server, which we will call bobby (because he looks like bobby pulido) he was great! Very patient, I asked him if the gravy sauce was made of chilli like the hotdogs chilli the wolf brand, because I do not like those to me that's not tex-mex enchiladas and some ppl do make them that way.. he then told me oh no this chilli is made with different spices not the wolf chilli lol
And let me tell...

If you're looking for a family friendly restaurant with a great staff who aim to please with great food, this is the place. My wife and I had breakfast there on Sunday and we were very impressed. Everything we had was delicious and Chris and Josh are amazing! The wait staff is wonderful and eager to please.

The building lacks hygiene, remember environment attracts better employees, surroundings must be proper stimuli. Other than that there food is becoming 3 stars at one point before they became more known they lack Temp control and proper shelf life calculations
