Food is great and not very expensive... The wooden ship is fun for the kids to play on... We enjoy getting the queso dip to go along with the chips... The salsa bar is always nice too though...

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Rebecca Ruano · Jan 2026

This is my reminder to myself to stop trying to eat here. The tacos are cold. All I want is rice, bean, and avocado, and I get charged 85 cents for avocado, even though I’m still under the 3 toppings limit. I unnecessarily confuse them, wanting both rice and beans on my taco. The soda is usually flat. The salsa in the bar is ice cold. The tables were pretty clean this time. Kids seem to have fun.

This place is a win for families—they have a huge indoor kids’ playground shaped like a ship (complete with slide) that kept my kids entertained the entire meal. The atmosphere is upbeat and fun, and we need more restaurants like this in the community! The food was flavorful and fresh. I had the Buffalo Chicken Burrito, which was delicious with just the right amount of heat. The chips were crisp and tasty, though the queso was a bit watery for my liking. Cleanliness was okay—could have been better, but to be fair, it was the end of the dinner rush. Staff was friendly, the vibe was casual, and the menu had great variety. ✅ Indoor playground = kid heaven ✅ Flavorful food & fun menu ✅ Great family spot 🎯 Tip: Come early if you want the play area at its cleanest

Great food and family atmosphere! Prices reasonable however wish they had a cheese sauce that had a little bite along w/ thier mild one.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Jay Kapiko · Jan 2026

We come weekly with our grandson and the food is great and service so friendly. The place is clean. There is one bench by the pirate ship that is in desperate need of repair. It's been sunken in for over 8 months. I have mentioned it several times. Hoping the review will get it serviced. I'll try to add a photo.
