Ordered some chicken fajitas, chicken & rice bowl plus tortilla soup. Chicken fajitas and bowl were alright but the tortilla soup was awful. Never had something like that before. Flavor was way too strong and ended up sick after. Wouldn’t recommend their soups at all. On the border chips are good though.

Awesome experience, as always!! We always sit in the bar because the service is excellent and friendly. The food was amazing.

The quality of food was not what I expected. The meat cheese in the enchiladas was solid and not melted and the carne sauce tasted like it was straight from a can. It was overly salted as well. The salsa is good and the wait staff made an effort...but considering our group and one other table were the only people in the restaurant it would have been nice to get extra plates as requested or napkins or refills. We assumed the wait staff had double duties and performed other tasks in addition to waiting on guests?
