Service was really great, and these fajitas were flavorful. I didn’t like their house margaritas - they use a bad mixer.

We got here and Jordan instantly got us seated and right away got us started on drinks, he explained the menu as if he created it. He literally knew every detail and gave us every option. This guy was awesome, best server I've ever encountered. Within moments being seated they served us chips and dip, 1 minute later our drinks. After we ordered we waited maybe 12 minutes and our entire order was there. Jordan was insanely good. He made sure to check with us like every 5 minutes never leaving our drinks empty. Reason for 3 stars was because my wife's rice was barely luke warm, there was hardly any avocado in the avocado salad and it was made with chopped salad. No greens. Rice was very bland. We ordered the Steak fajita lunch and a side of rice and she had 2 margaritas which she said were amazing. The atmosphere wad awesome. We had a really good time here. Next time we visit we'll try something new. Their service is incredible and also the bathrooms are quite literally spotless. Great place. Over all not including the tip, both lunches, the side of rice and the 2 drinks was 48$. Can't wait to come back.

You know that the cuisine is good when you see a table with ten Latino people eating there. Such was the case here. I really enjoyed the taco salad and lite Christmas atmosphere. I highly recommend this restaurant. It’s worth the drive!

The food is terrific. The wait staff are excellent you don't have to wait long for your meal. If you're into desserts they make homemade flan but it's not like Grandma's. Come give him a chance you won't be disappointed.

The food was yummy and they weren’t very busy when we got there so the server was very attentive to our table. I got the carnitas burrito, my husband got a steak burrito and my brother-in-law got chicken tacos. It was his birthday so we made sure to try their strawberry cake! It was fabulous! My only real complaint is the cheese tasted a bit different ?
