    Food was absolutely delicious. Our server, Adam, is the best! He’s attentive and really a great guy. He knows the menu very well, and as a heads-up, lets you know if something is a bit spicy The salsa trio is a must as an appetizer. My wife loved the enchiladas suizas. It’s a bit spicy but the flavor is excellent. And yes, Adam let her know it was spicy when she ordered it. I had the albondigas, which was one of the specials for the night. The meatballs were very flavorful, but the spicy broth they were swimming in was amazing. For dessert we had flan. Let me tell you, THE BEST flan I’ve ever had. It was firm and topped with a rich crema and had a pistachio “granola” sprinkled over and around it. AMAZING!

    Delicious food, and kindest possible service for my elderly mother in a wheelchair, with a much-appreciated offer to turn down the music. I understand why she’s been coming here for years, and we’ll certainly keep coming!
