    Excellent service and enough to return. Food is as close to authentic for a chain in PDC. Good adequate food but the exceptional service warrants another visit.

    It was just a little too loud to hear all 5 of us at the table speak but the service, ambiance and food was top notch!!!! I highly recommend the Tuna steak. It was perfection 👌 The Mariachi was fun and the “spirit” dancers were really unique.
