The food was great! I had the Texanas Fajitas (chicken, steak and shrimp). Tasted great and the price was good. I also had a 30 oz. strawberry mango margarita, which was very tasty. The service was fast and our waitress was very nice. I will definitely return.

It's one of my favorite spots. The shrimp tacos and the combination tacos are my favorite. We eat here often. The margaritas are so good. Any flavor you get, you will love.

Our waiter, Manny, was the most accommodating wait person I've ever met. He made me feel completely comfortable at the bar. My friend and I ordered. Me the carne asada, she the gorditos. We each sampled the other's food and it was delicious.
