    Local favorite. Server was quick to get us drinks and food but forever to get us our check and refill drinks. Will that stop us from going again? Nope!

    This place is amazingly beautiful inside. The food is amazingly delicious from the fluatas to the Chile rellenos. The waitress was super nice and cool they took the time to make short conversations. It is kinda of hidden so makes it even more special bas only certain folks know about this hidden gem. They have full bar and wine.
