    We loved celebrating our kids birthday so much that we decided to make it an annual birthday event. The margaritas were the best we’ve had in a long time. The chips, salsa and guacamole were delicious. We each ordered taco dinner and all was scrumptious! We’ll definitely be back!

    Our waiter, Mark, was very attentive and always friendly. The food was, as always, quite tasty and the guacamole was especially good as were the mahi-mahi grilled tacos

    Found this place via a Google searching looking for bottomless mimosas! My cousin and I went to this place and had an absolute blast loved everything about it. We went there for lunch at 1:30pm and didn't leave until after dinner around 8:00pm because we were having so much fun. I think the food and drinks were responsibly priced and the food was delicious all of us loved what we ordered. But our waiters were the cherry on top both were super friendly, quick and always checking on us, love the service!! And love that they take reservations!!

    Always a fun time at Betty's! Consistent food. Only downside is that the margaritas are quite pricey.
