I had the green enchiladas with shrimp. My good was really good. The chips and salsa are boring. I had a mixed drink which I sent back. The service was terrible.

Some friends always bring me here when I visit - if you're there at night, try to eat outside - the back patio will be lit up with christmas lights. Amazing place to eat dinner and sit with friends.

Fun local place with good food and fast service. Usually visit at lunch time, chips & salsa are ok and prices are reasonable. 9/ out of 10 times I order the chicken taco which is safe and yummy.

This is the place to go for the true Mexican food lover. They also remodeled the place. This place is outstanding, and it has a full bar, and this place can party too.
