What People Say

Diners rave about the fresh, flavorful fajitas, crispy chips with house-made salsa, and the wide variety of margaritas—frozen, spicy, and everything in between. Many mention the attentive service and cozy patio as standout features. The upbeat but not-too-loud ambiance makes it ideal for conversation before heading to a louder venue.

Areas for Improvement
