This place was absolutely admirable. I was pleased with their restraunt everytime I ordered during my stay and they never failed to have the freshest ingredients I tend to aim for. Best taco salad I have ever had in my life. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Food is good and you get a lot! Always fresh and hot. Prices are affordable and this is a great place to take your family. Nice and clean too!

★★★★★ 5.0 Alan Silva · Feb 2021

This was our first time here. The food was excellent. The vegetarian menu had decent options. The food was tasty, although the rice was a bit bland. The staff were friendly and social distancing was observed well. The prices were a bit higher, but the food portions were adequate to leave full, in fact, my wife and I shared an entre, and just ordered a plate of rice to supplement. Overall, it was a good experience. I would come back.

A local favorite!! Generous food servings at reasonable prices. Last night, they had a mango margaritas special, and it was tasty!! They have dinner specials also. The service is prompt and cordial. The soapapillas were just the way my wife likes them. Two drinks, 2 dinners and a desert, ran us 44 bucks. There are usually a few larger groups in for family or business meetings. Very comfortable atmosphere! Go enjoy!!

this is just my favorite place in town. ive been coming here 8 years quite often. why? because it is constantly well prepared food served by a great staff, always pleasant, courteous and quick! they don't skimp on quality or portions, its always very clean and well presented. everything is cooked perfectly, seasoned well, not greasy. i love that they use romaine lettuce because its never spoiled and even looks like they wash it. whoever cooks takes great pride in what they do, i notice the details. the salads are fantastic. i really like the weekly specials for something different. the shrimp are big and the crab dishes are always real crabmeat. the salsa and chips are yummy, always warm chips and the salsa tastes homemade with fresh cilantro. ive never ordered something that wasnt good th
