Not very good Friends told us this was an awesome Mexican restaurant. But I thought the food was mediocre at best. The outside area was fun for the family, but overall not a place I will return looking for quality Mex. food.

Sweet little Mexican restaurant with loads of atmosphere. Less expensive, more authentic, and quieter than the big commercialized ones. Be sure to enjoy the outdoor patio when the weather is nice.

Service was too slow and the food was undercooked. Enchiladas were rock hard. Too bad since we have been coming here for 40 years. Under new ownership this was our third attempt. 2 out of three visits unacceptable. Won’t be back.
