I would have a hard time finding something bad to say about the food or the one guy who was serving the entire restaurant. I went on Thursday night which coincidentally turned out to be enchilada night, exactly what I was planning to order. I tried to order two enchiladas, one with chicken and cheese and the other with cheese and beans. Somehow it came back as just a cheese enchilada and a chicken enchilada. No big deal. They were both very good. They don't have draft beer at the restaurant. I was really hoping I could get one of the standard Mexican beers on tap. When I got there, the place only had a handful of tables being used. About the time I left, a huge group of mostly young men came in and the restaurant turned into more of a frat party than a restaurant. The prices at this restau

We picked up take out on Taco Tuesday. The tacos were basic and surprisingly tasty 😋 The ground beef was flavorful and the toppings were fresh. I also ordered refried beans which were tasty and the portion was HUGE! If your Tuesday crave is for tacos, give 'em a try! 😃 ↪️ Service was fast and friendly👍 ↪️ Excellent value ($1.49 Taco Tuesday tacos ↪️ Restaurant seemed very clean ↪️ They have a couple tables outside

Food was great, the decor was cute and we had friendly service.The chicken enchiladas were very good, and the serving was large.(took half of of home!) The guacamole and salsa were fresh. Tried the delicious fried ice cream and we all loved it! Will definitely be going back again
