Food was great, service was amazing. As a person with celiac disease it was refreshing to have a menu where my options were tagged with large letters. The host took the extra attention to alert me to how the corn chips would not be safe for me as there used a shared fryer for all food. Will definitely be returning again.

What can I say other than this place has some absolutely DELICIOUS food! Went here for the first time and my wife and mother-in-law were in agreement. The salsa is homemade by this lovely older lady, whose son is the chef! The chips and salsa was great! The green salsa is their spicy one, it had really good flavor, but my spice tolerance withstood it very well. The red salsa was mild, but flavorful. The queso was also delicious! The steak fajitas were absolutely amazing and tender! And even their beans and rice is delicious! I cannot recommend this place enough! Absolutely delicious! UPDATE: They were amazing and brought out a dessert for my mother in law for her birthday, but she couldn’t have it because she can’t do gluten. It’s also apparently not on the menu yet. But, they apologized and brought her out a flan that looks and tastes absolutely amazing! PERFECT flan! Wonderfully creamy, beautifully balanced flavor and sweetness! Oh my goodness I’ve found my new favorite Mexican restaurant!!!
