Food was excellent. Service was good. The drink size was small and full of mostly ice, but tasty. Second time here, brought friends this time. We all enjoyed our meals. (Pork iron skillet, shrimp tacos, carne asada)

We were a party of eight with reservations and we showed up early. We were seated immediately. Wait staff was very attentive. Drink selection was outstanding and the drinks were delicious. Made very well. The selection of entrées was great including the children’s menu. Everyone in our party was able to get something they enjoyed very much. The table side guacamole was delicious and included freshly made chips that were still warm. First time coming here upon recommendation from my daughter and we will definitely return next time. We are in the area.
