"Another great visit to this restaurant. All tables get the house salsa and homemade chips. Worth the trip just for the chips. Crispy and oh so good tasting. The soup and appetizer are huge and could feed more than one easily. The chimichanga did not disappoint, plenty of meat. The shrimp tacos were the only thing if I had to ding just a bit. Pickled onions on top were a bit much and I removed most of them. The chunks of avocado instead of guacamole made the taco a challenge to bite in to but the shrimp and mango salsa made the tacos worth the slight inconvenience.
Seated immediately and the waitress was charming even though she gave us the wrong bill when we cashed out the first time."

"Service is great, food is a little pricey but good quality. I was very happy to see beans that were not refried beans in my burrito!
The only part that really upset us was the non-cash fee of $5.42. I have never seen such a fee on a restaurant bill. So if you eat here, bring cash, and make sure they take that fee off, because it was on our check even though we never indicated we would be paying by card."
Candy Wilkinson
"We enjoyed our meals and the atmosphere was chill and pleasant. Our waitress was excellent- checked on us multiple times and gave us just the right amount of attention. We had the guac and chips (great!), cheese quesadillas (excellent), and quinoa avocado salad (pretty good but not great). Plenty of parking, indoor and outdoor seating, and comfortable seating."
