Excellent endroit pour les familles. Des livres, du coloriage, des pancakes gratuits pour les enfants le dimanche. Les tacos aussi excellents!

Bouffe maison très bonne & bon service. Suggestion, baisser un peu la musique quand il y a plus de monde. A part cela, c'est une belle place, j'y retournerai

La nourriture était excellente vraiment proche d'être traditionnelle. Le bol au poulet grillé était parfaitement assaisonné & frais. Le service était rapide & sympathique! Je recommande fortement pour une soirée entre amie ou amoureux l'ambiance est vraiment parfaite pour n'importe laquelle occasion. Aussi le prix est vraiment raisonnable pour le service & la qualité des aliments. Je recommande fortement à aller essayer!

Thoroughly enjoyed the tacos, tequila cocktails & salsa on the table. Coleslaw was unfortunately bland yet bitter. Biggest complaint was that the staff.& owner allowed a drunken patron to chainsmoke on the patio with several kids around. Awful end to an otherwise great evening.
