“So impressed with the service we had tonight with this restaurant. We do not live in the area and we’re here for a football game. Our youngest son had a terrible headache and their staff stepped up and gave us children’s Advil that they had to go to their vehicle to get. Thanks so much, MICHAEL! Our server was Rolando and he was amazing. We had the soup, tacos, and chili Reno.. which was all fantastic. Great service, great food, and people who care. That’s the most you could ask for. Not to mention our tab was completely reasonable!”

“Host was great. Food was great(just as ordered). I did not appreciate the kitchen employees yelling and playing with each other and being very loud with almost a full dining area of customers. Luckily the the football game that was on their TV drowned out most of the horseplay. There was also a customer trying to scalp tickets for the TMS sick metal concert that day. He just added to the atmosphere.”
