May 05, 2026"It was late and I was hungry. Great atmosphere and the service was top notch. My food was delicious and my drink was good. A little on the salty side but very good. Chips and salsa hit the spot. Highly recommended this place. My bill was high because of my drink but other than that prices are reasonable. Came in and had the Carnitas plate. OMG. So good. Highly recommend it."
