I had 2 cheese enchiladas and they were good. I was never offered a refill on my soda. But otherwise all good. The fried ice cream was, however not good. I am not sure if it was actually fried. The outside was pieces of tortilla chips that had a texture of hard oatmeal. There was no cinnamon or flavor. The ice cream didn't have much flavor either. We kept eating to see if it got better, but it didn't. So, I don't recommend this dish. Otherwise, it was a good experience.

Quick, kind, and attentive staff. Our waitress had brought another soda when the first one was only half empty. Our food came out so quickly too. We asked for suggestions to eat for our first time and the waitress gave great suggestions and explained them in detail. Everything we ate was delicious!
