    Came here last night, it was about 9 o’clock close to closing, we seated right away. Our server came to the table within one minute of us being seated. We ordered our drinks, a queso and our food which all came out quickly. Everything tasted delicious per usual. Our drink drinks came out quickly and were made to perfection. I highly recommend this restaurant. Definitely get the queso. Try a margarita. I suggest mango. And order the beef fajita steak! It’s so good here and they cook it to perfection.

    My mom and I come here often for fajita Wednesday, but today Pierre made our experience so much better than all of our other visits. She was kind and attentive. Even the manger Leslie came by to check on our table and the quality of our service. The food was fresh and seasoned well! When you come ask for Pierre!
