Very welcoming, quaint restaurant. Extensive menu. Fresh salsa made as you sit and order. Generous portions served by the kind, smiling staff. I recommend and will return.

Grade food, great service, and really clean place . I may have gotten cheated out of five dollars, but I can not be 100% sure since I did not get a receipt.

This was our first visit and we were very pleased. Our server was pretty nice. For our meal we got the mixed botana for two and my daughter got chicken nuggets. The chips and salsa were very fresh and the chips still hot. When the botana came it looked so delicious. The meat was nice and juicy not dry at all. The rice and beans were hot and tasted great. The guacamole was so good!! Looks just like the picture. If I am ever back in this area I will be returning.
