We had a great waitress named Samantha. Best service we have had in a while. She was very friendly and quick at all our needs. Hope she's working when we visit again.

We were waited on quickly and the waitress was very nice and polite. Only issue I had with service was that I asked for lemon for my water twice and never did get any. The music was too loud and my family had a hard time having a conversation.
The queso blanco ẁas good and the chips were fresh and hot. They hadn't been salted, but we took care of that at the table. The birria tacos were tasteless and bland as were the beans and rice. I added some queso and salt to try to help them along. No complaints from the kids who got the cheese enchilada, except about their beans and rice. The kid who got the nachos declared himself full after eating one. After further questioning and a taste by an adult, a touch of salt and queso worked to help him almost finish the plate.
Overall a disappointing experience. This was our first time there, and we will not be going back.
