Our waiter was great. The manager came and checked on us twice. Super friendly staff. They had our table saved for us. It was a great experience, and we will be returning.

This place is very good. Im a repeat customer. They have good deals, the quality of food is excellent, the food is fresh, well cooked, and the portions are generous. Their margaritas are perfect, on a pricey side, but definitely generous size and generous pour. Staff is extremely friendly and very attentive. The place is is the marketplace mall, so not a particularly romantic location, but great for family dinner. Parking can be tricky.

Taco Tuesday nights here are unbeatable in terms of value for the money! It’s a little loud and you may have to wait but we had reservations. We absolutely love the wait staff and management as they are super attentive. It’s our usual Tuesday evening hangout.
