Horrible Restaurant!
My family and I visited this restaurant during on vacation - the customer service was horrible, the frozen drinks were watered down and our food was cold. When asked to speak with manager, her attitude was cocky and unprofessional.

Food Bland
Traveling with a tour group and restaurant seemed to be prepared for us. Very good service. Taco salad was lacking flavor. Lots of meat but not much else. Quesadillas were excellent.

Festive drinks and good food
Staff was super nice and helpful. Our food was good with ample portions. Drinks were very good - margarita was proper and the limited wine selected still provided a nice option. We will definitely be back.

This was our 3rd choice, but others weren't open
We didn't get to eat at our favorite place, and 2nd favorite wasn't open either. Salsa & chips were good - salsa spicy, but we like it that way.
We had a nice meal - chicken fajita quesadillas and a large 'rita. There were plenty for the 3 of us for our meal! 6 large quesadillas! Service was a little slow.

simply good!
the exterior wouldn't draw you inside but it is has a nice multicolored interior that is pleasing. Most importantly the food is good with them being known for their flavorful fish tacos. Don't walk by this place and miss it as I have in the past. Its worth a visit and easy on the pocket book.
