The service was incredibly fast, and the attention to detail in the food was exceptional. The prices are competitive, although not the lowest for good reason.

Very cute restaurant with great food and amazing service. I ordered steak fajitas, and the steak was very tender juicy with good flavor. I also ordered chicken flautas, which were delicious as well, especially with the guacamole. Definitely will return to try more items.
