Testimonials

On 5/15/2026 Joe B had this to say:
My wife and I stopped in here for lunch. The exterior of the restaurant was visually appealing with a cool decorative spiral staircase and a statue of a burro at the entrance. Upon entering, we were greeted and seated immediately. The waiter took our drink orders and brought us some yummy chips and salsa to munch on while we looked over the menu. After we ordered, we only waited about 10 minutes for our food to come out. I had two tacos, and an enchilada with rice and beans. It was really good. My wife enjoyed her food also. The waiter was attentive and refilled our drinks when we ran low and gave us more chips and salsa during our visit. In summary, the restaurant had nice decor, the service was great, the food was really good, and the price was very reasonable. We would happily eat here again.
