homey just like the name conveys, this place provides a warm setting for some authentic mexican dishes. The salsa bar is great as well as the tender tacos with great variety of meats offered. The prices are decent especially during happy hour with the margaritas on sale! so enjoy yourself and have some authentic cuisine at a great price
