“ This place has great food, friendly great service, an overall great experience. Side story, we left the key fob for one of our vehicles here, two months later, not only did they remember us, but also returned our key fob to us. We were not regular customers, but mow we will be. ”
“ Update: Recently visited the new location across the street. It's really nice. I tried a couple of different things. I can't remember the name of the one dish that came out on a sizzling fajita skillet and has all of the fixings on the side, including tortillas. My mom has the fajita chicken salad. She liked the flavor, but it was so juicy that her taco shell started to fall apart. For drinks, you can't go wrong with their sweet tea and lemonade mix! The loaded baked potato was awesome! It was my first time having it, and I'll definitely order it again. My friend ordered the King Burrito. Everything was tasty. They do serve margaritas here, but unfortunately, they are not flavored margaritas like strawberry or peach. ”
“ Quesidilla with mixed meat and fajita salad, very good, I've had better salsa but would recommend trying and comfortable seating. ”
“ 1st time eating here, everything was great. I like the thinner chips better than the thick ones they serve. But it was still good. ”
