    We had a great time at this restaurant that was very accommodating. The bartender was incredible, we received great service at our table from him. The cost of the fajitas to the portions received were a bit off, we did have to get additional tortillas and cheese, and we could’ve used more pico de gallo. The waiter was accommodating got all of these things for us. We would definitely return and it’s great for large groups, including children
