    First time visiting and I must say I really appreciated everything about my experience. I’m definitely one who will take the advice of previous customers when considering patronizing and let me say their experiences and opinions didn’t disappoint. I did have a small wait time but I’d rather wait until called than to take the risk of eating old food. BUSY = FRESH FOOD imo so a little wait time will gives me a chance to glance the menu. WIN WIN. Shown is what I order, what I paid (fair price for the serving sizes) and what was left. I definitely took that first class flight and landed safely. I will be back 🤩😍🥳💯

    Very clean, amazing food. Our server was amazing, very sweet and friendly! We both got the build your own, the enchiladas were very flavorful, and melted in your mouth. The tortilla soup was very delicious. It tasted exactly how you'd want it to. And the salad with spicy avocado ranch dressing was so good. Will definitely go back!

    Love the service here! Was disappointed that Happy Hour can only be ordered in a restricted area, the bar area, where seating doesn't cater to people with disabilities and /or just uncomfortable conditions for people dealing with aches and pains 😢

    If I could give zero stars, I would. My wife recently visited this establishment and had issues with the waitress, who was initially giving her a hard time When it came to purchasing an alcoholic beverage, my wife presented a temporary paper ID from the state of Texas After reviewing the laws in Michigan we have concurred that the paper ID IS in fact a valid form of identification as long as all the information is correct, we understand the place of business can deny the form of identification per discretion however the manager lied to my wife saying that the in the state of Michigan temporary paper ID’s are not a thing and he can not accept because he could lose their selling license However, as previously stated, after reviewing the laws and legal counsel, the place of business may refuse if they believe the ID is misused or invalid, which could result im loss of license. I see it as the restaurant manager profiling my wife as an underage woman misusing her temporary identification for the purchase of alcohol I would not recommend coming to this place of business if you’re from a different place and want to enjoy a Tuesday drink If they don't have alcohol to sell, why advertise this
