This was our first time here. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! Our waiter, David, was very attentive and the managers came by a couple of times to check on us. The food is worth the prices, everything including the rice was seasoned, and the handmade guacamole was PHENOMENAL! We ordered a couple of drinks. My first one was great but the 2nd one was made totally different. David made sure to get it taken off our bill as I didn't like it. And when we left, i forgot my leftovers and he tracked...

Great place to eat. Fantastic food and great service. Guacamole, Queso, and salsa were all great with the chips. The Philly steak burrito was amazing and rice and beans were very good. Staff was great and would definitely recommend.

We had a great experience on a Saturday night. I recommend the Carne Asada 😋 👌 Great flavor. They also had a magician for free entertainment. The drinks are picture worthy as well (and they taste good).
