    This place is amazing! The actual authentic chips and salsa is a great start. Both the chimichanga and fajitas are great choices, but The service really sets it apart. They treat everyone like family

    My friend said her Mimosa was strong, but good. The Salsa was awesome! The food was good. The atmosphere was pleasant and the waitress and staff were very friendly. Definitely will be back!

    Food is hella salty but the chips are deliciously greasy and the margaritas are perfect.

    The food is passable but it won't matter to you after a couple of their margs. That's why you should go and that's why you'll go back.

    Nachos were pretty good. Individually layered so good flavour on each one. Homemade chips used.

    Quesadilla was pretty good. Nothing spectacular. But can you ever go wrong with melted cheese?

    Decent food but overpriced for what it is- except for the $5 margaritas on Mon/Weds & $5 sangria on Tuesdays.
