Amazing Homemade Chips and Salsa to start! Great flavor of both the mild salsa and hot salsa. Guacamole tasted homemade and was delicious! The steak fajitas had a great flavor but the steak tostada could've used some more flavor. … More

Food was excellent and service was outstanding. Smaller interior but nicely decorated inside. Went for a special occasion and was extremely happy with the experience. The Queso Fundido with steak and mushrooms appetizer was amazing, along with the Flan for dessert! More
