Absolutely excellent food. I had the chicken quesadilla met with a side of spring salad with house dressing and feta. I would absolutely go back again in hopes that there's a new host at the front door, The young lady with long brown hair has and disgusting disposition. Upon arrival I was met with an eye roll with no response to my HI. Hello, as I walk through the door, my party was already seated so I continued to the table. Our server was awesome. Young male with long hair with great customer service.Just hoping to be Welcomed next time upon arrival.
A true gem! Our server, Taylor, was incredible. From start to finish, service and food was five stars. I highly recommend trying the queso, rice, ceviche, and beef barbacoa quesadilla. High quality ingredients with lots of flavor!
Excellent Hispanic food at a reasonable price! The ambiance was fun. Service was wonderful. Parking was but tough especially during lunch time on a weekday. Definitely worth a visit!
