Love the view of the golf course. Can be a little hit on the patio but worth the view.

When choosing a Mexican restaurant, or just eating out, this is always my first choice and I have yet to be disappointed. It is always a hit with out-of-town guests. The staff is exceptional in attending to customers' requests. They allow the guests time to enjoy the food, and atmosphere, with never a rush to clear the table. It is top of my list of eateries.
