some of the greatest mexican food i've had on this side of washington. quick and kind service too! must visit.

edited to add (because it's important to me!): i grew up in tucson, az and was never a fan of restaurant salsa. it's the one thing i'm picky about. i LOVED the salsa here. not too sweet, not too watered down. just right. thank you again for the amazing service and food.
