    This is a must! We enjoy the steak Torta w/ everything on it. Chips and salsa are always on point. You will be well taken care of when you visit this family owned and operated restaurant. If you’re passing through it’s worth the detour.

    I have been eating her since day 1. I have tried 90% of menu and I am never disappointed. Victor and his wonderful family feel like part of my extended family. They all know me by name as I do them. My overall favorite place to eat
