    Cute little place. They do have a big room for large groups though! We shared the steak fajitas. More than enough for the 2 of us and brought home leftovers. Great big margaritas also. Service was great and very friendly atmosphere.

    Got the Sope lunch and an horchata, it was soooo good! The horchata came in a giant iced mug and was absolutely delicious! The sope was perfectly cooked, the meat was so yummy and the beans and rice made it so filling, I honestly could’ve shared the plate.
