My first time at this restaurant. I read the reviews and had to try. It was delicious and very flavorful. The service was perfect. Will go back again soon.

Upon walking in the door the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. The service is prompt and friendly. Our food came out fast and was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! I probably could have had enough leftovers for two lunches if I hadnt been so hungry! Next time we will do the platter with three meats and other yummies! This time I had carne asada... More

The menu offers some great items and it is fun to go with friends and share, so you can sample more variety. The chef makes a variety of ceviche (marinated fish or... More

I've rarely had pulled and seasoned pork that is so moist and tender, with a nice little salad mix and mayo to round it off - do yourself a flavor and order a... More

Everyone was happy with their food, especially my six year old who ordered hornado with rice and beans. The server was very helpful by offering to answer all... More
