    Dined here on a busy Wednesday evening. There was a promotion this day, Enchilada Wednesday, and all Enchilada entrees were 50% off. My friend and I each had the Crab and Shrimp Enchilada entree. We both enjoyed our meals. My friend noticed there was not much crab though. She also requested to replace the rice with vegetables, the server said it can be done, but with a $4 surcharge. My friend had a Watermelon Margarita, and I had a glass of Sangria. We both enjoyed our drinks. We had Flan for dessert, and it tasted great. The server, Yvette, was friendly and efficient. There was very limited parking at arrival at 6 pm, and had to park a distance away. The total tab with tax and tip on this visit was $93.
