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.

It took an hour for our food to come out and it was in just a few plates at a time. I asked if it was normal and the server said he didn't want to confuse the cooks with a split order. My daughter had a child's plate and it was never served until the manager came out per my request. He was helpful at that moment and then we were forgot about again. Today's access to social media is a solid reason that you should take care of your patrons in a more urgent way. This place will be blasted as horrible.
