We decided to sit in the bar area and were pleasantly surprised by the excellent service we received. Our server was attentive, and both the bartender and manager checked in on us to see how our meal was. Despite being very busy on a Sunday at lunchtime, our food was delivered promptly and we were satisfied with the flavors. I ordered the Carnitas Dinner and requested a fattier cut of pork, which was delicious. My wife enjoyed her chicken Chimichanga as well. Overall, we found the Mexican food to be above average and would give it 4 stars, with the additional 5th star for the outstanding service. Check out the photos we took!

The food was served promptly, and each person at the table received their own personal chips, salsa, and cheese plate. I decided to try the Taco Salad, which was recommended to me, and it was incredibly tasty and made with fresh ingredients. I am looking forward to returning to this restaurant!

I opted against beans, however they do taste amazing. They also have complimentary chips with salsa at the start of the meal. Great parking and bar selection if you want to hang around longer. I'd be back if i'm in town again!

We have been here before and greatly enjoyed it but the service has fallen off a cliff. We came and sat at the bar at 2:30 on a Saturday. The restaurant was empty (with good reason). We sat for 5 minutes and no employee even acknowledged us. I finally flagged down an employee and asked if there was a bartender working. He proudly told us he was on break but that a bartender would be with us. She came behind the bar and grabbed her phone AND LEFT. That's right, she didn't acknowledge us. And there were 2 kids (no adults) seated at the bar. I'm guessing they were abandoned by an employee. Not the vide or experience I wanted. Find another place to eat
