Customer Reviews

We had the whole place to ourselves due to our arrival at an odd hour!! (Between lunch and dinner time) Food was delicious even when we had it as leftovers the next day! (Portion sizes are very adequate) The salsa is made in house and is very tasty! (We asked if we could have a jar to go)
