Right off the bat I have to say; their decorating is actually nice! Most Mexican restaurants look like sh*t! But this place is clean and has a nicely decorated atmosphere. As for the food, it was all right. The service was okay, too. I would definitely recommend eating here!

Great food with awesome homemade tortillas!! The only thing is no water given when we arrived and the bathroom toilet you have to flush 3xs to get any paper to go down.

Probably the best chicken quesadilla I’ve ever had. The tortillas are fresh and fluffy and the shredded chicken is so good. The staff is always friendly and there’s plenty of seating.
