Food was excellent!! I ordered the tropical pineapple fajita. It was really good loved dipping my tortilla in the pineapple juice. Would have liked to have small bits of pineapple in the fajita mix and maybe a few more shrimp, my husband loved his dish as well. Service was excellent!!

Came here for dinner with family and sat outside, on a cooler evening during our unrelenting heat wave. The burritos we each chose were ample, reasonably priced and very tasty. The House Margaritas were perfect. We shared a fried ice cream and a piece of tres leches cake for dessert. Both were amazing. The staff were very friendly and attentive.

There was nothing about this place to not like. The food was fantastic, our servers were pleasant, and the outdoor seating is phenomenal on this gorgeous evening. They definitely deserve a 5 star rating for not only quality but quantity as well!
