Used to be a favorite when I lived in the area. Now returning years later I see it’s just as good as ever. Waitress was prompt and knew every detail about the menu. Only thing missing was the salsa bar but I’m guessing they had to take it down during the pandemic. Love this place

I always get enchiladas, you can get 2 or 3 in a dinner. I like that you can pick how many of what kind, I always get 2 beef and 1 chicken. Everything is always so fresh and they really listen to how I want my extras, everytime it's been perfect and delicious ?

We had reservations for 8 people and we were put in a room away from others, which was fantastic. Everyone enjoyed their meals, the service was great and no one rushed us out, we hung around and chatted for a while. It was very pleasant.
