   Reservation highly recommended. I usually eat there on Sunday evenings and the crowd has been steadily growing.

   Just a nice little restaurant that is consistent. The food is good and so is the service. With a reservation, it’s easy to get in and out.

   Almost everything from the salsa to the margaritas to the guac was just average. The only slightly above average dish was the spinach enchilada.

   I just got home and noticed that we were charged an extra $3.85 for Milk that I never ordered and our server got our order wrong , I do not think he was paying attention, he then fixed the bill but still charged us for something we did not order. I should have paid closer attention but he took forever and we needed to go.

   I found this a middle of the road experience. I probably won't go back. Food was so so.
