The food is absolutely delicious. Servings are huge. The price is very reasonable. I highly recommend you come and eat. They also have a salsa bar with fabulous sauces. I got the spicy creamy chicken. I would eat here regularly if we lived here, but we are just passing through. Go get some good food!

Love this place, great atmosphere, wonderful staff and excellent food! My favorite and go to is the shrimp fajita. The green creamy salsa is to die for.
