They have a separate only vegetarian menu!! Ask them for a vegetarian menu and their vegetarian chimichangas taste delicious. Would definitely go back for their vegetarian menu :)

We went before the dinner rush and there were hardly any staff. If you are a chip person, that was tasty as they were HUGE and not oily and the cheese dip was not bad either. I have had better fajitas as mine was not sizzling when it came out, but the service was excellent. The scenario was my kids wanted French fries I think it was they told us they didn't have any but they had sent someone out to get them and delivered just in time to arrive with dinner. Not only that the manager put on The Masters near our table per our request. Overall, good place even if not my favorite.

DONT KNOCK THIS RESTAURANT! everytime i place a DD order, i call to ask them to put extra sauce on the side because they don’t accept notes through DD. THEY ALWAYS DO IT FOR ME❤️ i talked to a man and lady tonight and they made me feel like a customer who was being heard. They were both so sweet about everything. I love this place and the staff! Thank you sincerely, a hungry but happy pregnant lady!
