I Had taken a roughly 3 year hiatus as my last experience at PB wasn’t the greatest. Was very pleasantly surprised at the attentive service, the excellent quality of food, and overall atmosphere. We all had excellent meals from the fresh made at the table guacamole to the tortilla soup and Taco lunch special. All was scrumptious and very filling. Definitely returning soon!
