My mom and I were seated as soon as we walked in and presented with freshly made tortilla chips and some fresh mild salsa. I appreciate that the salsa is not automatically served so spicy it burns my taste buds. Just because you enjoy Mexican food doesn’t mean you want everything with a ghost pepper effect. The service by our waitress, Rachel, was spot on. The plates were so plentiful of food, that mom and I could have shared one plate and still been stuffed. We ended up taking half the food home, which by the way was excellent the next day for lunch. The atmosphere is inviting and calm, we were not forced to listen to loud, obnoxious music like some places, and you couldn’t help but watch the place fill up. When a restaurant is steadily busy, that tells you that their reputation precedes them. It’s always a good sign. We will definitely return for more great food and one more those oh so attractive margaritas! UPDATE (2/18/24): We went for Sunday Brunch and it is the most spectacular spread I have ever seen! So many options from a variety of fruits, enchiladas, tostadas, desserts— you name it. Everything on the menu is at this all you can eat extravaganza! Oh my oh my... gotta go back again and again. I have never been to a brunch that goes all morning until 2 PM! Have you? Most end by 11:00, but not this one. They have a kids table as well if picky eaters prefer kid style foods. Marvelous! Absolutely delicious!!

We went in the late afternoon when it wasn't too busy and we were able to enjoy pleasant conversation over Margaritas and appetizers. The service was excellent, attentive with good recommendations, but not intrusive. The Margaritas were very good and the appetizers were inventive, delicious, and beautifully presented. I will look forward to going again in warmer weather to fully enjoy the patio experience.

Amazing food, wonderful service and great atmosphere. Sometimes we eat in and other times we take it to go. The meals to go have always been accurate and all of the dishes we’ve ordered have been 10/10 for taste & presentation. Since finding this restaurant, we continue to go back.
