We parked across the street at the Wal-Mart then walked over to pick up food. There are 2 ways we remember food places. By the experience and/or by the food served. This place will be remembered for its food. Our food was perfectly seasoned. Not overly salty, not unseasoned, portions were generous, and loved the meat to veggies ratio. Usually, places get it wrong and put too much of one. We'd order from there again if we're in the area.

This place deserves 5 stars. The drinks, amazing and big, the food smells and taste delicious and the service is fast/ friendly. The serving size is worth the money. The whole meal was good enough to make you dance. Lobster nachos were bomb. The silverware was clean and the atmosphere was pleasant. I love the hand painted scenes all around. This place would bring a tear to Gordon Ramsey’s eye.

Wonderful atmosphere, excellent food. Try the BIRRIA Quesadilla. It comes with refried beans and Spanish rice. Prices are moderate.

Great food. Nice waiter. Attentive. Kept drinks and salsa topped. It was before the crowd so the wait time was nonexistent. Good job!
