If you sit outside, sit under an umbrella cause birds were pooping all around us. 1 star from atmosphere for that but excellent all around otherwise. Wish they toasted the tortilla more but it was delicious

Had the chicken and steak fajita platter. It came out sizzling and tasted amazing. Washed it down with a frozen strawberry marg which was poured into a chilled glass. Amazing meal. Will def be returning.

We ordered from the lunch special menu, which was an exceptional value. The food didn't stick out as extraordinary, it didnt come out as hot as I thought it'd be, but it wasn't cold. The food was satisfying still, especially at the price point. Service was quick and attentive. I would have no problem returning.

Did get hung up on on the phone twice, not sure what was going on. Third time was the charm and got an order placed quickly. Food was ready when I got there and delicious. Food was just over $20 + tip for just me, but I got a meal (entree + side), and extra side of rice, and chips and salsa and utensils.
