★★★★★ 5.0 Brandon McDowell · Aug 2025

We really enjoyed our dinner. The building is really beautiful. It has a big city feeling. The waiters were extremely nice and knowledgeable of the menu items. The margaritas were perfect. The food was really good. There was plenty of seating and nice parking area. There was plugs available to charge phone also. Great experience.

They have a lunch menu, and breakfast menu in addition to their regular menu. We ate fajitas for lunch on Monday. Service was great. Two employees checked to make sure we had everything we needed; never had to ask for anything. Our drinks were automatically refilled along with the bowl of chips. Food was made according to our special requests. Meat was flavorful and tender. I didn't take photos, but both plates of food looked beautiful. They cook fresh fajitas and the food is served sizzling hot. Fajitas include your choice of beef and/or chicken, refried beans, rice, guacamole, and pico de gallo with a parsley garnish and lime wedge. Lunch is served with complimentary chips, salsa, and cheese dip. Fresh corn tortillas and flour tortillas tasted great. Waitress and other staff were v

We came for a late lunch at 2pm on a Thursday. The service was quick and helpful. The food was good. Things I particularly liked: the beef fajitas were tender and juicy, the refried beans have a very good flavor, the guacamole was fresh and tasted good. They don't skimp on the cheese. Very good job. 👍🏼

First time visit to this restaurant. We ordered the fajitas for two with beef and chicken. We got a cheese enchilada on the side to give it a try. The fajitas were good and plenty for the money you’re spending. The side dishes were good; guacamole, pico de gallo, and such. Beef was tender and better than the chicken which was a rare treat. The enchilada was good. The outside of the restaurant was fine but when we walked in the door we found a well decorated and completed restaurant that was clean, comfortable and made for a good atmosphere. Service was awesome; two gentleman that helped us did great and were very friendly and upbeat. We’ll be back next time we come to town to visit family.

I've only had various types of fajitas so the quest to explore the menu hath only begun but they cooked wonderfully, the veggies are tender but not mush and the shrimp massive. My Wife enjoys the tex mex stuff. 2 entrees and good fresh sweet tea expect to spend $45 to 65 with 15% tip included. Great service fast food. Lots of seating.
