“ Great food, really good! Service prompt and friendly, maybe a little under-staffed. Nice surroundings, but music a little loud. I’d come again. Good prices too. ”
“ Surprisingly not busy when we stopped in on a Sunday afternoon. We were able to enjoy our visit in a space that felt comfortable, given genuinely friendly service, and were more than full when we left. We'd have taken a to go box if not for the food being so good. ”
“ Absolutely love this place. Service was great, atmosphere is comfortable and the food is absolutely AMAZING. If I could rate higher than 5/5 I would in a heartbeat. The food portions are enormous too ... ”
“ Decent atmosphere—nice and airy. Alambres carnitas was excellent. Queso fundido as well. The hot salsa was outstanding! You have to ask for it—spicy and flavorful. Good margaritas. Attentive staff. The food came out of the kitchen like lighting. I’ll be back. Maybe molcajete next time. Totally spaced the great view of the lake. ”
“ The staff was friendly. The happy hour drinks were phenomenally priced. The location was an older building but clean and the atmosphere was festive. The TV screens were great for watching the game. We will be visiting again. ”
“ UPDATED ON 12/27/24- went again. Absolutely terrible. Food was extremely poor. Tasted like canned chili. No more Tap beer. No More Tony (see below comment). Wow- has it gone Downhill FAST. Such a nice place. The guy that's ALWAYS there is excellent. I've eaten here probably 30x and this guy(Tony) is absolutely outstanding. So friendly and makes your dining experience a pleasure. From the bar to waiter to customer service. Absolutely the best. Great food and reasonable price. Highly Recommend. ”
