I was not charged for the salsa sample or serranos. If I lived closer to this side of Lexington, I'd honestly probably eat here all the time.

He was absolutely pleasant as can be and joked with us a bit, making our experience a great one. It can get kind of loud in both the indoor and patio section of the restaurant, but once larger parties began to clear out, it became calm enough to hear each other. We ordered an appetizer bowl of the chorizo queso, and this queso definitely stands out as the best queso we have ever had. The hillbilly quesadilla, chimichangas, tacos, and burritos are all excellent choices; the portions tend to be a bit larger, so I recommend going when you're really hungry (but the leftovers were just as delightful). All of the proteins were cooked well, and the classic lime margarita was perfect. We would go back to this restaurant if we had the chance.
