The food here I always on point and price friendly. 3 people eat great for around 60 (tip included). Definitely recommend their pozole that they serve on the weekends only. Lemonade/ coffee never fails to refresh. Stop on in and see for yourself.

We called just before a short notice family gathering and they were able to accommodate all of us... almost 40 people. The service was understandably a little slower than normal, but we were all eventually served. Since some of us hadn't see each other in some time, we didn't even notice how long we were there until we were leaving. Thank you to all the staff that made this a great experience given the sad circumstances that brought us all together. If you've read this far, then you probably want to know about the food too. The appetizer quesadilla was so large it was like slices of pizza. I had the Camerones a la Diabla (Spicy Shrimp) and they were cooked perfectly. Not as spicy as i was expecting, but they had a great flavor. My wife had the Mexican Plate and had nothing but good things to say.

This place has a real big selection. We tried quite a few things and everything was exceptional. The quesadilla was huge enough for two people, the steak n Shrimp was good, but the fish n Shrimp was soooooo good. Highly recommend
