To start the chips and salsa were very good, the salsa had a nice roasted flavor. The waitress was very nice answering all of our questions and the food came out in a good amount of time. The food was hot and full of flavor. My husband had the street tacos mexican style and I had a chile relleno with a cheese and onion enchilada. Our food was awesome! We would definitely come back again if we are in the area. ”
