Absolutely delicious! We were instantly seated, the service was quick and personable, and the food was delicious. I have a high spice tolerance and was thoroughly delighted by their "hot" salsa. Great atmosphere - music wasn't too loud, the building wasn't super crowded, and I was really pleased. Highly recommend.

Great tasting food, huge menu to choose from, and at a good price. Their house made salsa is amazing. Just ask, you can get some to take with you. Their tacos are terrific, simple but well done.

Nice environment, friendly staff, decent price meals. The portions are perfect, not over indulging or wasteful. Rice is seasoned deliciously and the double decker tacos are worth it! Stop in if you get a chance!
