★★★★★ 5.0 Marshall Carrier · Mar 2026

I loveliest the fajitas here. The burritos are a bit soft but considering they are covered in delicious queso and the meat inside is so good, I have no real complaints. The service is worth 5 stars, the staff is friendly and are quick to serve and assist. Easily one of, if not my FAVORITE, spots in town.

I would have given this five stars. Everything was good until I was checking out. I handed my payment card to the older gentleman with glasses in hi hand, I extended my hand for my receipt and he dropped it on the counter(but yet asked for a tip).🤯 Disrespect is enough to ruin the experience. The table waiter on the other hand was great!!

Family friendly environment, the food is always prepared perfectly and the service is friendly. Tacos have always been satisfying to my family when we go. Overall would say food taste like home cooking from one of my aunts back home. Would preferably like a little more spice to the salsa but I understand they have to make it suitable for everyone. I will say the seating does need redone. Most of the time the booths we've been in are torn or loose and not secured. I don't know if thats not a big deal to others but to me I feel like a booth shouldn't move generally at a restaurant. Would still recommend for the food and the service anytime.
