A tremendous Tex-Mex place with a fun decor and a wonderful menu. The service was exemplary are waitress was extremely helpful and explained everything on the menu and gave us recommendations. She was also more than accommodating with someone in our party who had some dietary restrictions which needed met.

The ambiance was exactly what I needed tonight. The wait was only 20 mins, and we had drinks while we waited. Drinks were fun and flavorful. The chips and dips were good but the green sauce lacked flavor (add some lime and salt!.). I was skeptical about the food but it was delcious. Beans were a little runny but had great flavor!
