Run to this place! A lot of Tex Mex restaurants are either an expensive chain or a hole in the wall. This is neither. It’s nicely decorated and inviting, the staff is friendly and attentive, and the food is varied and delicious. Get the fajitas poblanas: imagine chicken fajitas covered in a chipotle sauce and topped with cheese. The chicken comes out juicy and flavorful. We added 6 shrimp for 9.99. The tortillas (corn and flour) are home made! How often do you see fresh corn tortillas?! Ever was an awesome server. Their refried beans and enchiladas don’t have pork lard like in other places. If you want to try something different, ask for their spicy salsa. It’s a bit thicker than the standard one they serve. Only thing I would change is that they serve American cheese as a topping for the fajitas (puzzling).

There’s nothing really fancy nor surprising about this place it’s just your standard tex-mex restaurant, the food was average and the drinks were good as well, the staff and customer service was pretty good.
