    The food was delicious, and the service was terrific. We had cocktails, appetizers, mains, and dessert, and it was great from start to finish. Our server paid us just the right amount of attention. Parking can be a challenge, but once you're inside, all is well. Highly recommend.

    Hadn't been here in years. Very reasonable prices, entrees under $20! Fun place for our group. Waitress was very nice, The food was very good overall. My lobster quesadillas were quite yummy but portion was small, more like an appetizer. Steak fahitas was good, steak not very tender tough and skimpy on rice/ beans. Tacos were enjoyed by 2 of our party. Mexican lasagna was a bit too spicy for the person who got it, and she didn't realize it was a vegetarian dish though ingredients were listed. , maybe should label. Chicken fahitas was generous portion and enjoyed by the party who got them. The flan was good but a bit dense.
