The remodel looks great, go check them out! I've enjoyed dinning at this location for a couple of decades and God willing, more to come. The food is always fresh and delicious. Love the consistent service with friendly and knowledgeable staff. If there's a better Mexican restaurant out there, I'd say you're fibbing lol.

The food was delicious and honestly the only reason I'd consider going back. Service was terrible—my waiter couldn't be bothered to do his job. I had to find him twice, and the rest of the time he was camped out at the bar on his phone like he was off the clock. Super disappointing experience.
