Since our favorite place closed a couple years ago, we've tried dozens. This is the best so far. The depth of flavor in the skirt steak is the first thing I noticed. Even the rice. Usually an afterthought. Everybody makes rice but it's seldom (never) fluffy and flavorful. If you can't get the rice right, you're not ... paying attention to detail. This was a 30 minute drive but that won't matter as we are definitely going back. 8 or 10 other things on the menu I have to try! Exceptional service from Marlene!

Food was delish!!! Skirt steak dinner was absolutely fantastic. Fajitas had a lot of meat piled on top of the sautéed vegetables instead of mixed in where they try to fake you out that you’re getting a lot of meat. Everything was fresh. Good margaritas. Really happy we discovered this place! Will definitely be going ... back!!!

A co-worker recommended this place to us, and we initially ordered takeout a couple of times—each time, the food was fantastic. This past week, we decided to dine in for lunch, and it did not disappoint. The food was excellent, the restaurant had a great ambiance, and it was clear they do brisk business on the ... weekends. The portion sizes were just right—not too big or too small—and the service was attentive. I was thrilled to find my favorite dish, Steak A la Mexicana, on the menu. Everything was wonderful, and we’ll definitely be back to try more of their delicious offerings. I highly recommend this place!
