What our guests are saying

"Food was great. Saturday evening they had a Happy hour 2 for 1 on their margaritas. I do not drink margaritas so I did not try it. I did how ever get a $9 strawberry lemondrop martini, the sugar rim helped it. We got a side of queso with jalopenos on the side, they charged $2 for the jalopenos. We also got chicken nachos and they were delicious. The chicken was really good. Cool atmosphere with inside and outside seating

First time trying this place and it didn’t disappoint! We ate here on a Thursday, around 2:00 and the crowd was small! The food was EXCELLENT! The salsa had a great flavor. They even had authentic habanero salsa that really satisfied our spice craving. The service was 10/10. We will go back when we come into town again!
