Ordered the Tostada plate, pretty good but the salad part that goes on top was ice cold which made the rest of the tosdada cold also. Now for a warning... beware the red sauce that comes separate. Super hot as in spicy. Wait staff very friendly and inviting.

Was a drive thru visit. The young lady welcomed me and told me the specials. As I drove up I saw the marquee and it said, lunch specials daily. I went at 8pm so I thought I was gonna pay menu price. She greeted me with a welcome and told me the specials they had and this was thru speaker not face to face. I ended up choosing one of 3 specials she mentioned. I got to window and she was so welcoming with her smile and enthusiasm just like she was on the intercom. Over all, great experience. I'm gonna get down and eat inside next time.

Folks , if you need to satisfy your hunger pains, this is the place to do it . Their combo shrimp and chicken Fajitas are to die for . Lip-smacking good, and at reasonable price too.
