Almost missed it because it’s hidden in a little shopping plaza in the corner. Very friendly staff, one of them helped me get my car door shut as I was leaving. The food came quick and was delicious.

My husband says he doesn't like Mexican food and he never wants to go. Well, that changed last night. First we ordered drinks and an appetizer. The drinks were good.. But the appetizer was great. It came out fresh and hot., and was delicious. Both of us ordered meals we'd never tried before. My meal came out first and there was a small wait for my husband's dinner. All the vegetables in my plate were fresh. The meats were cooked to perfection, and the seasoning was spot on.My husbands chimichangas looked and tasted great. The restaurant was clean and nicely decorated. Our waiter was very attentive and helpful. We will definitely be going back.
