    Great food! Our group of 8 (4adults and 4 kids) had a wonderful time. Loved the taco Tuesday specials! Would love a kids menu for even more value and kid-friendly options.

    Food was pretty good. Server was hard to understand, so difficult to communicate with. She pointed out Thursday margaritas special on the menu, so I ordered one. When the bill came i I was charged full price. When I questioned it she showed me the fine print, starts at 1030 pm, we were there at 630. For numerous reasons I don't recommend this restaurant.

    The seating isn’t as advertised We were seated right in front of a maintenance closet, that had rust on the door and lock. Chairs were cheap plastic, and the place looked dirty.

    The place could use some updating. Our waitress was very attentive. The food came out and was not warm. Our fajitas did not come out sizzling on the cast iron. Would not return.
