Consistently had great service and great food here. The owner/manager frequently checks in with guests which is always appreciated. Servers are always polite and act like a team to make sure no table sits too long without service. Prices are reasonable and serving size is well worth it!

Everyone was so polite and the food was superb. The waiter never let our drinks get low and the food was out quicker than we could have thought.

We went last night. We also go regularly. I’ve never took the time to write a review however we have never had a negative experience. You are seated quickly. Chips and salsa are at your table moments afterwards. The servers are very attentive. When your order is take, your food arrives in just a few minutes hot and delicious. The owner is always walking the floor to ensure customers are satisfied. I know there are more authentic Mexican restaurants out there but if you’re pressed for time, you can be in and out faster than most restaurants around.
