Our server Naila was amazing. Tuesdays are a great day to come dine in. We got a table side guacamole and it was made perfectly. The manager was also bringing out the food for the servers when they got a little too busy. Pros to the manager because I saw her in the front helping out guests to bringing out food as well as cleaning tables. The service here is amazing.
