We had Birria Doobies and Street Corn Queso for appetizers, followed by the Penne Carbonara (with excellent sun-dried tomatoes) and added perfectly pan-seared salmon, Fiesta Salad with a (new!) side of creamy, flavorful risotto, and Cookie Dough Doobies for dessert!! All were excellent. Carbonara was my favorite, and the Perfect Margarita with house sour mix was tasty!

Service was good, food was okay. Ordered the Salmon BLT, Shrimp Tacos and a burger to go for work. It came out to around $43 for all 3. Decent prices. Food simply didn't have enough flavor. Probably just needed some more seasoning. More
