The interior atmosphere feels cold and echoey, and could be warmer and more inviting. However, the outdoor atmosphere is perfect with twinkling lights and covered seating that I love.

The food was tasty and they continuously brought out chips and salsa. The restaurant is not far from Lake Murray. Kid-friendly with a kids menu and no alcohol served.

The service is absolutely wonderful, very attentive and nice! The chips and salsa hit the spot with the salsa being a little spicy for me but it's just the right amount of heat.The first time I got the pollo asodo and my husband got a tornado burrito I do believe I can't exactly remember the name! and it was absolutely delicious!!!!and a I decided to get the house enchiladas two chicken, one cheese and some of the best I've had in a long time. Everything was seasoned and cooked great and so very good I had NOTHING left on my plate. The person I brought with me ordered the taco salad and said it was a 9 out of 10 and they can be hard to choose a restaurant without being nervous about it! I got the churros for dessert and they hit the spot! I was in a food coma by the time I left! For me it's a 10/10! Definitely try it!!!The only thing that I can see people not enjoying is that they can not serve alcohol at the moment but I don't drink very often so I was good with that!

The service was excellent as our drinks never got fully empty. The food was great. Two of us had the Mexican Papa, the wife had the taquitos, and I had the Chori burrito. The price was roughly about $10 to $14 per person. I would recommend trying this place. Outer exterior appearance hides the great service and food inside. I will definitely come back to this great place
