First time coming in and I love it. Great customer service and friendly staff. The food was delicious and the margaritas! love it. They know how to make a margarita. I will certainly come next time here again

Great place, food and atmosphere. Definitely recommend the Chicken Mole Enchiladas. A bit sweet for my taste, but still delicious. It's a pretty large portion but not quite sharable unless you get another dish to share and try.
