    First time here. Ricardo was our server and he was fantastic! Very personable and was very knowledgeable about the menu. My wife asked for a “customized” burrito and the kitchen was able to oblige. I had one beef, one chicken and one fish taco and each was better than the one before. Sat outside and the ambience was great. We will be back

    The food was disappointing, we haven’t been in a couple of years but they changed the menu and the meat was dry and flavorless. Service was good but the food was not worth the price
