    Our food was fabulous! Shrimp Fajitas and Shrimp Diablo. They were both so good. The handmade flour tortillas and yummy salsas were the perfect accompaniments. It was pretty busy in the restaurant but our service was still very good.

    We miss the mesquite, smokey salsa from years ago, but still love the food and the other salsa. Don't like the replacement for the one we miss. But the fresh tortillas never disappoint.

    Great choices of food for their Sunday bunch. Food stations were kept clean and well stocked. There was even a small section set up just for kids. Service was excellent.
