What our guests are saying

Edgar, Olivia, and the hostess were great! Edgar was on top of it, he made sure her chips, salsa, and water were always topped off, checked on this frequently if we need anything. The food was tasty and definitely worth its value. Our drinks were delicious, we had skinny top shelf margaritas, Chilli Rellenos, and shrimp with octopus cocktail-so good. They served us right away and attended to all our needs. Definitely check this place out.

Our large party of ten proved to be no problem in seating or in serving. Waitress was efficient and attentive. We ordered a variety of entrees and everyone seemed satisfied with what they had ordered. Chips and salsa were complimentary. Nice restaurant and good food.
