Three people celebrating a birthday at lunch. The lunch menu offers various specials or one can order off the main menu. The chicken enchiladas were nice with a requested tomatillo salsa. The shrimp enchilada was very good when ordered with cilantro rice and charro beans. And finally, I really enjoyed the chicken fajitas as served with grilled vegetables and soft flour tortillas. Kathy, our server was polite and prompt. We all enjoyed lunch and look forward to our next visit.

1st time here i think. despite the iffy weather we sat on the back patio by the water. Enjoyable. We tried the open air but a drizzle forced us under the canopy. The staff accommodating. Good job waitress. Food good. Drink too. Nice place just before concert. Glad the trolley near by.
