It was our first time here and we didn't have high expectations. I won a gift card which prompted us to go. We were actually blown away by how good it was! The service was impeccable - very fast and friendly without being pushy. The margaritas were good and the food was delicious. We started with nachos which were different than you usually find but they were excellent. I got a rice bowl with grilled chicken that was huge and everything was fresh. My husband got a fajita burrito that he said was excellent. I'm so glad we found this place. It will be our new go to for Mexican food.

We enjoyed eating at the upstairs bar on a Friday night. The food and service were excellent with many options to choose from. We enjoyed the lively atmosphere and will definitely return in the near future.
