★★★★★ 5.0 Gerianne Bagen · Oct 2025

One of my favorite places in the world to eat! Absolutely wonderful staff and my girl Olivia always knows how to make us feel welcome, warm and provided for. Amazing food and the atmosphere is incredible. Highly recommend! You won’t be disappointed!

★★★★★ 5.0 Ang Frompton · Mar 2025

We will definitely be back to this establishment! The food was amazing, we felt welcome as soon as we walked through the door! The 3 of us had the house Fajitas with mixed protein. The portions are bigger than expected and absolutely delicious! We also shared a fried ice cream which was decadent for real! Brittany, our server, was great, very friendly, very helpful and there when we needed her! Everything is definitely a 5 star for us tonight!!

★★★★★ 5.0 Shemiah · Mar 2025

The staff are very friendly, patient and understanding. We were seated within like 2 to 3 minutes. Our waitress was helpful and let us take our time. The music is nice and we liked the atmosphere. The food was very good, fresh out of the oven, and colorful. I got the steak chimichangas.

Went for a Valentines date night. Had a small weight which was good however, after ordering our food, waiting a bit longer than usual one of our two meals arrived. Approximately 10 minutes later, our second meal arrived, which was cold almost still frozen. Finally got the attention of the server, who never returned to our table, informed her of the situation by this point, my husband had just about finished half of his meal. I asked to speak with the manager, which took about another 10 minutes or so. The manager seemed very unconcerned that food was being served cold. (half frozen). She offered to have the food remade at this point there was no point to that as he was already finished with his meal. When stating we wanted the meal removed from our bill, the manager finally (reluctantly

★★★☆☆ 3.0 brian mcandrew · Feb 2026

The food is really good however this location is very shady and weird in my opinion. The service is strange the atmosphere is even stranger, you're going to see some shady folks hanging out at the hotel that's connected to it. I recommend getting take out to avoid spending time at the location.
