    Table for 8 on the patio today for lunch. Weather and view were amazing, as was the experience. Ordered a lunch item, the cheese enchilada and beef taco al carbon, and it was delicious. Adding the queso blanco on the taco took it over the top. Quick but not rushed, and very attentive service. Half of our party was from out of state, and they were blown away by their meals. Can't wait to go back for a margarita!

    Had reservations got seated immediately. Brought chips out quick and waitress was ready to go. The chips are good. Started with Roasted Corn Bisque. Great starter and delicious. Had Grilled Chicken and rice and beans. Had the tequila peppercorn sauce on it good portion and good flavor. Wife had a salad was a huge salad had to take half home. Service was good always kept Tea filled plus nice area and nice clean restaurant. Give it a try.

    Made a reservation for 8 over a month ago. We were seated at a very awkward shaped table near the kitchen. When we asked if we could move to one of the nearby available tables that were more conducive to a group birthday celebration, we were told that we did not specify that we didn’t request a “good table. Service was slow, not because of server, but I think because the restaurant was understaffed. Overall food was good. But disappointed with customer service of hosting staff and suggest they have more servers. Will not use this place for group events in future.
