This was our first visit but we thoroughly enjoyed it. The tacos were excellent and the service was on point! My wife and me were celebrating 19 years together and they went out of their way to bring us some sparkling wine to help celebrate. We’re looking forward to our next visit!

Our server, Kelli, was incredible and we were treated so well, even when we took quite some time to order. It was wonderful to hang out with friends in this very welcoming spot. Thank you so much!

Fantastic tasting Mexican food and smart, friendly service. Prices reasonable / consistent with the quality of the food. Restaurant is bar loud - not the place for a quiet romantic dinner. P.S. dear management, please add desert to the menu . . . it would be terrific.
