Had lunch with my wife. Food was delicious. I ordered chicken fajitas and she ordered chimichana. 😋 Came with beans and rice. Chips and salsa were delicious but not complimentary. Not a big deal just a heads up. Would recommend for a date night or family dinner 🍽

Ordered 3 separate take out orders. They were ready on time and the food was excellent. They took the time to ensure the shells of our golden tacos were not crushed when packing. Quick easy check out. Everyone loved their meals and we plan to go back again!

Stopped in on a dreary, rainy October Wednesday. 🌧 Went in the middle of the afternoon so it wasn't too busy. Ordered up some drinks and chips w/salsa, which were well seasoned and crispy. Leafed thru the menu and decided on the a seafood burrito 🌯 and seafood enchilada. The SIL got the Charitos Chimmy. Both came out in about 10 minutes. Both were nice & hot. I really liked the seafood items (hard to find) and SIL loved her chimmy! Know where I'm headed when I bet the seafood burrito 🌯 itch... 😃
