    We miss the mesquite, smokey salsa from years ago, but still love the food and the other salsa. Don't like the replacement for the one we miss. But the fresh tortillas never disappoint.

    Great choices of food for their Sunday bunch. Food stations were kept clean and well stocked. There was even a small section set up just for kids. Service was excellent.

    Taco Tuesday with my family was fantastic! Our server Adrian was amazing. He was so personable and friendly. He came around several times to ensure everything was perfect & we were happy. It was a great experience.
