My family used to dine here regularly for years, at least once or twice a week. The food is amazing. My go-to dish is the burrito fajitas texanas, which is both huge and delicious. I can't recall having a bad meal here. The only minor complaint might be that the tacos can be a bit underwhelming. The staff are all wonderful and they serve the best salsa and queso in town.

When I returned to my car, I noticed that I left the box on the table. My daughter went back to retrieve it, but it was already taken. I understand the fast turnover rate, but I was under the impression that the box would be set aside if the patron returned. Less than 5 minutes had passed, and no one seemed to be helpful or concerned. Overall, I was very disappointed with the situation.

The food arrived quickly and was very delicious. It was a great dining experience. The waiter was exceptionally professional and friendly. read more The food arrived quickly and was very delicious. It was a great dining experience. The waiter was exceptionally professional and friendly.

Their fajita burrito is excellent and the staff is attentive and always meets our needs. While it's still not my favorite restaurant, it's a good alternative option.
