Dave TurnbullDecember 22, 2016Good quesadillas. Kind of sleazy location because of the strip joint next door, but the ninfa family keeps it clean indoors
Fernando CovasDecember 27, 2017Quite possibly the worst tex mex. Food is bland and under seasoned. Chicken fajitas are nothing other than white chicken with no seasoning and no grill marks. Service doesn't make up for it.
