Went here for dinner with my mom and a close family friend. I had the steak fajitas and the other two had combination plates. The portions were very large and the food was delicious. I especially liked the guacamole and the pico de gallo. The guacamole was creamy and smooth with tomato chunks in it and the pico de gallo didn't have an overwhelming cilantro flavor like most of the ones I've had. There were onions in the Mexican rice, which I liked because the cooking process had made them quite sweet and the same for the onions that were cooked with the fajita meat. Our waitress was super nice and very attentive. Overall, a fantastic experience!

We came here for drinks and appetizers before 80/35 on a Saturday night. We had seafood nachos and their salsa trio. I had a couple of beers while others had margaritas. All were good. Prices were reasonable and service was pretty good. I would like to come back and see what theyâre like for dinner. I think you would enjoy this place; I certainly did.
