We ordered the grilled chicken fajita salad and it was delicious. Enough for the two of us. Server was really nice. People next to us were loud because of a game but left after awhile.

Read the fine print on the menu! They will add an additional 4% on your bill. Terrible.

It’s a little pricey. $33 for adults and $13 for kids so if you go with a family of 4 plan to spend above $100 for brunch

We’ve eaten here many times nothing special or over the top just your average experience. However I didn’t notice that they went to shrinking and removing some of the portions of the food. Such as removing some of the condiments and smaller tortillas.
