Always a great experience here, waitress never let us run low on drinks. The salsa there isn’t mild which is uncommon and I always want more. In the picture is beans, rice, two cheese enchiladas and a very tender steak. I had already covered in salsa before I thought to take a picture. If I didn’t live a hundred miles away, I’d go often.

Kid’s liked it.. they have limited veggie options.. if they can adjust the main menu by substituting with veggies that would be lot better. Unlimited Chips and Salsa is super cool.

The service is amazing and the drinks are top tier. Loved the fireplace. They are so much better than I remember. Plus you can hear the he conversation. Come on out!
