What an awesome place! Food was good with a few unique dishes and service was spot on. Plenty parking for a Saturday lunch and dining room was about full. I liked the table salsa, it was a nice flavor and consistency. We’ll return when we’re in the area!

This place never disappoints. The staff are always friendly, often at a run keeping plates moving. The food is always good, and the beer is always cold. I can only recall one time our service was the least bit slow (we had a big group) and the manager stopped by multiple times to check on things. Any time we are craving Mexican food, we go out of our way (literally out of town) to go here.

We were seated quickly. Also, quickly served chips, salsa, and our drinks. Very good salsa! I had the Chimichanga Del Mar. It was a Chimichanga with grilled shrimp, crab meat, and veggies with rice and beans. It was fantastic! It tasted delicious, and the portions were perfect. I would definitely go back and highly recommend it.

They have cut their meat into tiny pieces for their fajitas now and not quite as fajita tasting but quantity and price is still worth it. They have such a large selection to choose from. The staff is very attentive and friendly. Still our favorite place to go for good Mexican food!
