    11/14/2025 stopped here for lunch. We ordered fried avocado tacos, shrimp fajita taco, and the chicken and waffle taco. All of the tacos were delicious, only complaint is the chicken was a bit dry and it needed more sauce on it. The fried avocado tacos were absolutely delicious!! The salsa that they serve was also really yummy. For drinks we ordered their famous coconut cream margarita $18 each and I ordered just one of the regular margaritas. They were delicious! I would recommend stopping here for lunch or dinner!!

    I stopped in today at lunch time to catch up with a friend. The food is always good and the prices are reasonable. Today was warm so the front was open allowing for us to enjoy the perfect early fall weather. Aside from being a nice venue, the staff always seem positive and provide excellent service!

    Food was great. Interesting atmosphere. I just felt a waitress wasn't really interested in having to take our order. Almost like she had other things to do. Other than that it was a good experience.
