The service was outstanding, even though every table was full. Our waters were refilled, and more salsa arrived promptly. The food was good - not spectacular, but quite good.

We love the atmosphere, food, and service. The daily specials are always delicious and the prices are affordable and the food is authentic. We've tried just about all the dishes and never a complaint. The waitress are always nice and attentive. There is a reason the parking is generally full. Yum!

A great place for horchata and also fajitas. If you want to go through the drive-thru just make sure you call it in about 15 minutes early.

We were passing through and found this little place. The service was great, friendly staff, great food. Didn’t catch the waitress’s name but she was great. They even welcomed us in with our 4 month old Frenchie pup, Eisley. She enjoyed her burger patty as well. Very affordable less than 40.00 for 2 meals and a patty. If we are back this way we will definitely eat here again
