    We haven’t been here in over a year but it’s not as good as we remembered. The food tasted blend and under seasoned this time around. Service was good but wished the major factor, the food, was better. Unfortunately probably won’t be returning wish so many options around town now.

    I have been here about 10-12 times and have never wrote a review until now! The food is always delicious and comes out so fast. The service at the bar is also top tier and my favorite place to sit when dining here. Thanks again for accommodating us again and I will be back soon! #trailerparktacoforthewin
