Great food, great service, friendly staff! I think it's nice that they served us tortilla chips with salsa while we were figuring out what to order. They can also serve you a spicier sauce or white queso sauce to go with the chips if you ask. We had their lunch specials! My sis tried their tasty beef taquitos while my parents and I shared their yummy fajita jalisco w/ beef, chicken, and shrimp! Will be back here again with my fam next time we are in town. Gracias por todo y pasa la bien!

The food is good, but why can't you use real shredded cheese. I hate that cheese sauce that the Mexican food places in the south use. Service was good. Ambience was good for the type of place this is. Nicely decorated.

Great authentic Mexican-American cuisine. Staff was courteous and efficient and the food was quite good. We had the carnitas and chicken quesadillas. They were both good
