I will definitely return and recommend!

We were greeted warmly and given a table, which was not always the case in some other places. We found the menu to be authentic, but different than most other places we ate in town, which was kind of fun. We actually ended up eating here twice because the first experience was so positive. They were accommodating, and even with our limited Spanish we did just fine! My favorite was a thin fried chicken cutlet with pimiento cheese so delicious!
