"I was there last Sunday at lunch time. I enjoyed their Azabache chimichanga more than any other place that I’ve been. This chimichangas was great with the beef, sautéed onions and green peppers! It was like a great fajita but fried and smothered in queso! YUMMY!"

"I thoroughly enjoyed my meal and the environment. Everything was fresh and came out hot. The server worked hard and got everything right with no issue. Not overpriced and was a large amount of food...I had plenty of leftovers to take home. Will be going back."

"Our family stopped in last night for Valentine's day dinner. The place was PACKED and they did wonderful. It took a little time to get our food, but that was expected with how busy they were. They're always attentive even when they're not busy. Our waitress Aurora was so kind and did an amazing job. She checked on us consistently and assured us our food would be out soon. The atmosphere, food, and the people were outstanding. This is our favorite Mexican restaurant to stop in at. Pictures of the food are from a previous visit."
