“ Visiting from out of state and my son took the family out to eat. Good food, I ordered the chili verde combination it was good but the chili verde sauce didn't taste homemade but it was good, My son's ordered the barria tacos and they absolutely loved them! The service was fast and very friendly! They must have checked on us at least 6 times for the hour and a half we were there. Very clean and great atmosphere! ”
