Food was average. Service was average. Waited about 20 minutes after being seated and making drink orders before our server came back and took our order. I did get the sense that she was new? So there’s that. The food was mediocre. The pork in the Chilli Verde was dry and hard. But the flavor was on point. Same complaint for my wife’s Chicken and Shrimp burrito. My daughter finished her beef enchiladas so I take it they weee good! Over all, the experience was not bad, enjoyed the time out with our kids, staff was friendly, decor was nice, we left full but most definitely not the best Mexican food around.

Our waitress was super nice! I can’t remember her name but she was fast and checked on us frequently, the food was outstanding especially for the price and we will definitely be back, we went on valentines and you’d think it would have taken forever but they were all quick and extremely kind. 10/10
