    The tortillas are thick and not what we were used to. Everything is made with it so it’s hard to see coming here often.

    The food was good. They got my daughter’s order wrong, so it took a little while for her to get her meal. We really like the chips and one of the salsas (the one in the middle)

    The area we were seated in was very dark. Could not read the menu and see our food. I would return, but, if we were seated in same the area, I would ask to be seated in a more lighted area. If not, I would leave.

    Overall, the food was very good. Their tacos were yummy and their chips and salsa are really great. Their Carnitas were really good and so were their chicken enchiladas. Was not so impressed with the guacamole because it had a lot of other stuff in it not just avocado and spices. Also, the rice wasn’t terribly exciting, but it wasn’t bad. The service was outstanding. The cocktails were great and I think it’s a fun place to go eat and the food is good
