“ Decent, cozy, Mexican, comfort food. Staff was friendly food was fast , a good lunch stop ”
“ The salsa doesn't have too much cilantro and just enough heat so even the kids can handle it. The chips were fresh and crisp and warm and the bean dip actually he decent proportions of cheese and beans. The chicken in the burrito and enchilada were seasoned slightly and had just enough heat. The beef isn't to salty and wasn't seasoned like we do with the seasoning packets at home. Finally, service was admirable and friendly considering how busy they were. ”
