    Charming place with excellent service from the owner and very good food from his wife who runs the kitchen. Prices are good as well!

    My husband and I had lunch to go this afternoon - the staff and service were great but the food was definitely a miss. We ordered California burritos and expected Mexican flavors, but instead we got flavors that aligned more with Indian cuisine. I’m not sure if they mixed up the cumin with curry, but we definitely won’t be ordering them again.

    Great little Mexican restaurant. I had a nacho fajitas and they were very good. My wife had the chicken fajitas and they were excellent.

    Great little place to grab lunch or dinner. Be sure to try the green salsa. It tastes great mixed with the red salsa for chips. The spinach enchilada was very good and the rice is perfectly seasoned.
