Our server Jose was Amazing! He was very attentive,friendly & efficient. Great food and ambience! Delicious beef enchiladas filled with tons of tender juicy shredded beef wrapped in homemade awesome tortillas & smothered with a magnificent sherry cream sauce with a hint of spice. My husband had the grilled fish which was very fresh. He put some of my delicious enchilada sauce on his fish which made it even more tasty! Great find, we’ll be back!

Excellent food, service and we would return again. The additional fee for health and wellness was inappropriate and I was told it was correct. My information said otherwise.
