"I visited on a Sunday evening, and there was a steady stream of customers. Plenty of comfortable booths lined the main eating area with tables for large groups in the center. We were seated immediately and the service overall was excellent. I had the steak chimichanga dinner which was tasty ($9.93). Prices were reasonable for dinner. Our server checked with us at least three times after we were served. The food in general seemed more authentic than other Mexican restaurants I've been to. For example, the tacos came wrapped in foil and all condiments (questions, cilantro, sauce) were provided in separate bowls. I would like to return to try other offerings."
