Testimonials

Stopped in today and was beyond impressed with food, interior, management, etc. Cute photo op area, and the mural behind the bar is stunning. Food came out hot and fresh, including the house fried chips. Salsa(s) were delicious, and the menu was carefully curated so all the flavors work together for the perfect bite. We’ll definitely be back!

The chips were good and the salsa was outstanding! My chicken fajitas were delicious and my husband really like his cheese quesadillas. Our food came out quickly and the portions were generous. The remodel was nicely done with lots of comfortable booths. We will definitely be back for more!
