About this business
The sombreros and parrots, mixed with the Mexican music in the background, could fool diners into thinking they stepped into a fiesta. This good old-fashioned restaurant is serious about its Mexican food, served with a progressive touch. From breakfasts of huevos, rancheros or migas to dinners of grilled chicken, shrimp, fajitas and more, the food here does not fail to satisfy. The atmosphere is casual; the patio is terrific and the hot sauce is great.

They didn't even make the effort to buy good / name brand chips from the grocery store. My tacos ,with a meager portion of bean and rice, came in two cold tortillas which tasted like the HEB brand. I've had stomach problems since I got home from restaurant last night. Don't waste your money. Stay away !
