It was a very quietly atmosphere which was fine by me. The food was very good. It wasn't overly bad or overly tasty either. It was your standard. The price w a nt extremely expensive for a couple. We both had fatias and cokes for the drinks. Our total was $40.00 even.

Can NOT praise high enough the quality of the food and service at this unique restaurant. Fusion of Mexican and American cuisine, with super clean restaurant and incredible staff. Even with a wait, on occasion, staff works circles around cleanliness, refilling food and drinks, and stays sweet the entire time! Will be back frequently! Thank u for staying open in Grundy where options are few and far between!

Had a great time for our family celebration of my Granny's 90th birthday. Service was great and always with a smile. Food was amazing. The fresh guacamole salad is a must as is the fried cheesecake and fried banana. I can't wait to go back for the pastor street tacos. Highly recommend as they have not only Mexican but American food too. If you can't find something good to eat there it's probably your fault.
