"Had the black and blue chicken quaesadillas with the aloha salsa. It was bursting with flavour. Chicken was well seasoned and flavour was just unique. LOTS OF CHOICES on menu. Just a cozy Mexican restaurant good food, good staff and good atmosphere."
Danica Barrett
"Reindeer burrito was good, but nachos were horrible! Everyone’s side of nachos were stale to the point of breaking your teeth. I ordered halibut nachos and had about 2-3 tablespoons of meat and about 4 chips weren’t stale and I was able to eat them."
Dr. Iva Hughes
