Fresh Food. Friendly Service. Real Experiences
They have a secondary menu right now with a really good surf & turf flour taco. Has shrimp, streak, cabbage, cilantro, cheese, squeeze some lime on it! So much filling you can hardly close them. Finished off with tuxedo chocolate cake & red velvet for birthday celebration.
Beats Tres Hermanos by a MILE! WOW! We had the shrimp fajitas and the Hawaiian Fajitas and they ROCKED! The guacamole was AMAZING! The food, start to finish was PERFECT! Not salty, flavorful. Beautiful presentation. Lunch portions were filling. HIGHLY recommend. We'll be back for sure!
What a gem! We were very pleased with this restaurant find 😁Four people in our party and we ordered Street Tacos, Pollo Ortiz, and a Taco Salad. We started the Grande Trio Dip to accompany the warm chips.All of the food was delicious with ample portions.Alex, our server, was awesome, keeping our drinks full, and very personable.We highly recommend this restaurant and will return.
