Steve Eccs
Food's really improved over the past 6 months!! Ate there today ... good service, though they were a little shorthanded. I like thinner chips, but the salsa is really tasty and the little bowl of beans they bring woth the meal are very well seasoned ... the bomb! Bring back the Sunday Brunch!! Definitely returning....
Worthey Brisco
Good food, attentive service. Cheese enchiladas were delicious. I had mango margaritas, frozen and on the rocks, they were great. Volcano Nachos were ok, needed more chese on it. Overall great.
Emina Hasanic
We have been wanting to try this place. OMG DO NOT WAIT TO TRY GO NOW. This service top notch. The price fair!!!! Atmosphere 100% perfect thank you for such a awesome experience
Robert Johnston
We were seated quickly. We were waited on attentively. Food was delicious! Great tortillas, refried beans, and Mexican rice! I had the cheese enchiladas and they were fantastic! I even ordered a tropical margarita and it was very strong and very tropical! The salsa was fresh. The queso was creamy. My only complaint is that the chips were a little thick. I love the ambience of the place.
