    Great food, we were sitting near the entrance so it was noisy, and the servers couldn’t decide who was actually our server, but they were all lovely anyway. Did I mention the food was fantastic? It definitely was.

    We had dinner for valentine's day and made an early reservation. We had a nice relaxing meal that was delicious. I had the enchiladas and the red Chile was nice with some spice. My husband had the chicken Florentine off the special valentine menu and he really enjoyed it. Overall We loved the food. Our server was Nobe...he was funny and did a great job. He even gave us some extra sopapillas to take home! I'm looking forward to going back and would like to sit in their outdoor area.

    Service was very good & food was delicious. My husband is not usually brave with his food choices, but loved the shrimp enchiladas which he had never had before. I had the sirloin & enchiladas. Very good. Finished with the chocolate torte. Yummy!
