My husband and I eat here quite often! The food never disappoints, and the atmosphere is always warm and welcoming. The only issue we ever have is when the young kids are working they are spending time on their phone more than spending time checking on customers.

Been wanting to try this place for years and finally did. We started out with chips and queso cheese with a side of guacamole. Homemade chips were great guacamole was on point perfect perfect! And the cheese was great. For my main dish I ordered pork w/ Verde sauce, rice and beans w/ flour tortillas. This happens to be one of my favorite meals. Although there are different ways people make it some shredded pork some with cubed pork. I personally did not like this at all. I would have to say it was cut into small strips, Lots of fat/ gristle. The rice and beans were OK.. My wife had the 3 tacos with rice and beans 2 tacos were carnitas and 1 was a steak taco.

Tonight's service was absolutely atrocious by Grace. We are going on 2 hours of being here for a place you could call in and get food in 15-20 minutes. There was no one in here when we got here. All the people who showed up after us were served before us. Got our food and one person from our party was missing food. My food was burnt. It wasn't until we asked Emily, who was right on it for us. Would not recommend eating inside or avoid having the waitress, Grace. Do not have Grace as your waitress. She will leave you with no grace.

Ate there last Tuesday evening and we are going back tonight. Food was great, prices wow, great service (our server was very attentive). Quite happy with this little Morrison gem.

The food was good and the restaurant is quite nice, yet the service was horrendous. Every other time we have came here we have had amazing service along with great food. Yet every time we have this one waitress it’s never a good time. She’s bleach blonde and very rude. Never checks up on you and has a terrible attitude. I have no idea how she has a job here. She needs to be fired.
