    Food was good as usual. Was disappointed to be asked to pay one dollar per extra tortilla for our double order of fajitas. They will bring you as many bowls of chips as you want but want to charge you a dollar for a small 6 inch tortilla. Very nickel and dime in my opinion.

    Amazing restaurant, food and service! The only thing to keep in mind is that parking can be a hassle if you choose not to use the Valet service they offer.
