"A couple of taco dinners with margaritas were really good. Chips/salsa came out early, but the chips we had were a little stale. A few chips that came with the dinners were 100% better and very good. The place was really busy with 1 large table on a Friday evening, so they were understaffed, but they kept up pretty well! It was very noisy, probably due to the table of 20 in the middle of the room. No complaints here, but if you are looking for a quiet dinner, this may not be the place."
