    First time visiting and the food was amazing. Shared the cantina dips - couldn’t possibly choose a favorite. Then had the grilled poblano dinner and upgraded to steak and the grilled shrimp and garlic dinner. All around really good. Summer was a great server and gave us a lot of good information and was attentive. Will definitely go back.

    Chips and salsa were very good, as was the fish taco. But the enchiladas verde and taco al pastor had no flavor. The enchiladas had lots of verde sauce and cheese with very little taste; the shredded chicken had no taste. The al pastor pork had a hint of pineapple in just one bite.
