    Great food and a friendly server. Got busy later on and service slowed a bit, but no fault of the sever’s. Great music playlist with a ton of 90’s vibes!

    We were initially forgotten at the table, and no one took our order. Then the waitress apologized and explained the mistake with the white sauce bottle indicating we had already ordered. To make up for it, they gave us two free shots and covered our bill. Great problem management! I’ll visit again. Loved their chips, shrimp taco, and Peach Paloma!
