I wanted to have a nice dinner before New Years while I had my adult kids home and Cafe Luna did not disappoint! I had been there for lunch a few times and knew the food was good but hadn’t been for dinner in quite some time. As soon as we walked in we knew we made the right decision. The ambience was perfect and the food was amazing. The bonus of the evening was we got to watch a wedding proposal at another table. The entire restaurant and staff were applauding. Just an overall feel good evening.

Rosalita's is a good local Mexican restaurant. There is a bar scene for those who see that vibe, and a family section as well. Prices at Rosalita's are very reasonable. They have a nice variety of cocktails and a large menu. Portions are large and the food is very tasty.
