    I hadn't been here in a few years, so my friend and I decided to run it back! We were not disappointed! Hands down some of the best beef fajitas I've ever had in my life. The meat was cooked to perfection and so tender. Also, the appetizer shrimp brochette - so delicious!!! Don't even get me started on how much of a treat the soft serve margarita is. I can't stop raving about it. Our server, I can't recall her name, but I know it started with a 'K' was awesome, too! This restaurant is still a hit - always good stuff coming from Kyle Noonan!
