Food is amazing and the staff are always awesome, I just moved back to town after being out of state for years, the owner welcomed me home and remembered my name after asking why he hasn't seen me in so long,truly a loveable and humble place.

Good people. Great food. Always fresh. The staff knows the regulars and treats them well. The burrito Guadalajara is an excellent hot dish, while the Enchiladas Supreme is also excellent for a mild flavorful fish.

Top notch service, amazing food & drinks. They don't skip out on portions, we always leave with to-go boxes. A little bit of something for everyone.
