Check the video on this one! An absolute great Sizzling Steak Fajita dinner served in a atmosphere uniquely mexican. Guacamole is fresh and not over mixed. Queso Blanco is the perfect consistency, temperature and served with excellently fried chips. Not too greasy, but not "bag" dry. The seating area and tables were all clean upon arrival. The table service was provided by a beautiful waitress and done attentively. The meal was dropped sizzling hot by the cook himself in a great presentation. Noticed the bar on the way out and considered a quick stop but decided to come back on a later date.

I've eaten in Mexican restaurants all over the US, including hot spots like southern California, Texas, Arizona and New Mexico, and I believe the food here is as good or better than any of them. Top notch service and a very friendly atmosphere. The prices are excellent. A wonderful restaurant

Great food and fast service. I had the fiesta fajitas and my son had the burrito Mexicano. The meat was seasoned well and had a great flavor to it. The salad that came with the fajitas was excellent. Everything was fresh and served very quickly. Total bill with tip was $32.17 for lunch portion plates Definitely worth checking out if you’re in the area I definitely will next time I’m around.

I dined here 3 times while while in town helping the community recover from Winter Storm Fern with Team Rubicon. Once with our Quick Reaction Force of 4 people. Once by myself after the other members if our QRF left and I stayed behind to find us a new Forward Operating Base. The. A third time I brought our Command and General Staff her to dine as we got ready for our Grey Shirts to arrive the next day. We will continue to dine here with our group of around 30 volunteers once a week until our operations are over.

Parking lot was packed but the wait inside was only a few minutes. Food was good although my chicken fajitas were overcooked. Service was good for our party of six.
