                                      We ate here before a show at the Sac Performing Arts Center. I notified the waiter and he was quick to take our order, bring our food and get us out in time for the show. He was absolutely wonderful. We had fish tacos, pozole and tortilla soup. All was flavorful and perfect portions. The chips and salsa, especially the salsa, were a table pleaser. We will definitely go back.

                                      Wonderful service, delicious food, and rather reasonably priced, given the overall cost of dining out these days. We were a large, boisterous party enjoying a family reunion, and our servers were gracious, friendly, and very accommodating! The chef has a very balanced approach, the portions were more than adequate, and everyone really enjoyed their plates. It's worth mentioning again that the stellar service was the real standout of our visit.
