This restaurant has a beautiful atmosphere, great food and lovely staff. I always look for a place that not only has a large selection of drinks and food but also provides large portions. This place definitely delivers on both ends. We have been to all three main patronage areas (the patio, the bar and the dining section amd every time we go, it's a good experience. I would recommend to others and it is worth the prices.

Loves the taste and quality of the food. Good enchiladas, bowls, and tacos. The salsa is more mild than I’m used to but you can ask for more spicier. The drinks are good and the patio is landscaped perfectly. While the bar is low on food Mex restaurants in the Pacific NW this has been one of my favs with a good lunch menu.

I stopped by on a Sunday and Melissa helped me. It was busy but she was outstanding and made me the best drink ever. The food was delicious and the decor was just amazing. I will definitely be back.
