We’ve eaten here for years, but our meal tonight was better than ever. The charro beans were exceptional. Our waitress Sophia was very helpful, friendly, and personable. We enjoyed our evening very much!
May 2024
the food was more of a 4 and a half so better than most tex-mex ive tried and the service was amazing. Greeted as soon as i entered the building and met with one of the best servers ive had(her name is sophia btw). the decor could use some work but other than that 10/10 would recommend.

Parking: location spot in general hard to find when driving by

They have this crawfish étouffée with spinach and shrimp THAT IS GIVING!!! Just have to make sure the fried tortilla they give are dried. Got it one day, and the fried tortilla was perfect, 2 days later, and they were laiden with grease and floppy. Thank goodness for the tortilla chips they gave with every order. I was able to use those for the dip. The rice and charro beans are so flavorful and was perfect with my taco platter I ordered.
