Good service, great tasting food and plenty of it. Fair price. Will be coming back. Enjoyed everything we had
What a FEAST! It was a spectacular first time! Every dish we ordered.... It was so full of flavor! And we got tested to try the cheesy grits since we were first timers. They were the best! Highly recommend and will be back next round to the airport! Marjorie is a top notch server if you happen to get her on the visit in!
Great busy Mexican restaurant near the airport, staff was friendly but super busy food is the usual fare with some added varieties
