Carrie KaioApril 9, 2015LOVE this place. Had a racist waiter once. But that's the only time I've had a bad experience. Food is delish. Atmosphere is amazing. Definitely a must if ur in the area!
Kristine CuddyAugust 18, 2014This place does not look like much when you drive into the parking lot but it's very cool inside great food and great service! Way better than any chain restaurant!
Ben HewittFebruary 15, 2015Everything things so good ..love the fajita so and pastino appetizers so good and filling .awesome salads ad well.
John McCauleyApril 16, 2012Popular and sometimes tight seating, but well worth it. Don't expect dessert, but with the quality and quantity, you will not have room!
Bill WehmeyerJuly 14, 2017Always love the fajitas. The fajita chicken salad is great with their salsa.
Adela Garrido EcheverriaDecember 5, 2013Fue Veracruz Fisher tacos were delish!!!!!! And the Salmon San Sebastián too. Will come back. ..soon!
Ms PleasantApril 30, 2014Fajitas are love, great customer service, food feels like it's done as soon as you place the order
Blackened anything is fabulous. Normally I have the salmon but this time I had the chicken fajitas.
Can't go wrong with anything on the menu..except the eggplant dish... Plate of melted cheese and soggy eggplant...
Cheap and cheerful - this place has awesome food and it comes out quick.
Chicken bandara is amazing. Mesquite steak salad is awesome. Chimichuri steak is awesome. Guac rocks!
- My favorite drink is the Arnold Palmer, and I always get a side of Jambalaya.

The wait looks daunting, but they have a ton of tables and lots of turnover. It is tough for a couple to spend over $30 on dinner, and noone leaves hungry. Must stop!!!
Try the empanadas even if you're not veggie! So banging. Also, always add guacamole .
Joni HachFebruary 2, 2014Great time to come as it looks like everybody is at a Super Bowl party! I am loving it!
Stefanie SpatolaJanuary 12, 2015There's always a wait so go early! It's also really loud inside. Always good food and fast service.
Any dish with the marinated shredded chicken in it is a winner!- The Blackened Salmon is great! Can't go wrong with the Half and Half Fajitas either.
Michael MurrayFebruary 18, 2013Camp town shrimp is amazing but don't eat it quick without milk it's very spicy
