We couldn't have asked for a better experience. The salmon and tuna tacos were fabulous. We both had short ribs and they were delicious. Dessert was also a treat with the key lime pie. Our waiter was extremely accommodating.

Although the restaurant was busier than we expected on Christmas evening, the service was quite efficient. We enjoyed our dinners, and everything was served hot and ready-to-eat. Alberto always greets us when we visit. He wished us a Merry Christmas and made sure we were satisfied. The servers checked up on us to see if we needed more silverware, drinks, etc. We went home happy and full!
