No complaints at all. Waiter and waitress were both very helpful, answered any questions and very attentive. Have gone twice, will return soon. ”
“ On the recommendation of a friend I decided to go for lunch. It's a nice and clean small restaurant with great prices. We tried several lunch specials and appreciate that they were made for us. The chicken quesadilla came with beef instead - I enjoyed it anyway. The guacamole looked so good I tore into it before I could get my picture! The rice and beans were fairly ordinary, but the main courses were great... ”

“ This was my first time at this great little restaurant, but it won’t be my last. I started with a Dos XX and was pleasantly surprised when it was accompanied by an ice cold mug. The steak and shrimp fajitas came out sizzling mixed with onions and peppers. The homemade corn tortillas were delicious also. The bonus of it all was the great service! ”
