Only 1 kund if salsa and although tasty not spicy enough need to make an avacado salsa that is spicier!!! Also my chips the 1st time seemed stale but made by them but 2nd vusut seemed like they ran out and used Tostitos plus plates dif not seem very filled up for the price even with inflation!!!

Great Tex-Mex I've gone to at least three locations. The original is still my fave, but this one is excellent also. I ordered a la carte. One thing that I just loved... I ordered guacamole, and they served it with the good lettuce, not iceburg. So I was actually able to eat it.
