Good food at a fair price and great service. Staff has always been friendly and courteous.
Food was delicious! Margaritas were also tasty. Service is great and speedy. The staff is very friendly and attentive. The carne asada was the best we’ve had in town, temperature of the food was perfect, and everything came out in a timely manner. Our go-to place whenever family comes to visit!

Great food, drinks, and service! The atmosphere gives a great authentic Mexican cuisine experience!
The atmosphere was festive and colorful. The food was delicious and hot. The island margarita and the sangria margaritas were absolutely perfect. The servers even said the island margaritas were their favorite. The servers were attentive and kind. I will definitely be back. They have great lunch and drink specials.
Food was really good and the best part was the margaritas! Excellent service and friendly staff!
