    The fajitas are great! The service is prompt and friendly. My family has been going there for over 20 years. Handicap accessibility is easy.

    The parking is minimal, so carpool if you can. There is a little more in back but it's tricky getting back out.

    I like the fajita bean soup for a light lunch (cup) or dinner (bowl).

    The chips here are dairy-free but not the tortilla strips.
