Simple lunch visit. Decided to try new/old restaurant I have driving by for over 10 years. Checked reviews and some said the Mexican menu was to be avoided. I took the advice and tried “simple” everyday items. Had the potato skin appetizer along with the soup and salad combo with clam chowder as my choice.

Staff is friendly, food is on the plain and bland side. Noticed many customers appear to be elderly. I went with my family during lunch time. Order the taco and enchilada plate. Chips and salsa not spicy. My husband thought the salsa tasted like ketchup.

Very happy with this place, tho I have to admit that I avoided it for many years, when I had a not so great experience back then.

The food and atmosphere was amazing. The customer service was stellar. They were always checking on us and we never felt like we were being neglected. If you go for prime ribs, you get 2 sides with it. My overall experience at this restaurant was 10/10. I’d definitely recommend and go back to dine there.
