My wife had chicken fajita avocado salad. She said - Fresh, delicious, very good! Eliana our server was awesome, no "deer in the headlights" here!

They also have a habanero salsa and mild salsas. They give you personalized service and make you feel welcomed. Fish tacos and shrimp tacos are not on the menu, but are offered. They can also turn any menu item into a breakfast entree if requested. They serve Mexican Coke and Mexican Fanta made with pure cane sugar, along with horchata, pineapple, and lemonade drinks, along with various Jarritos drinks and fountain drinks. They have Mexican music playing in the background which adds to the ambiance. I think I will have them cater my next gathering!
