“ We came here before a Trailblazer Championship Wrestling show. We loved the clean bright look and the staff is very friendly and helped explain the menu. The kids decided on the kids meals and they came out great (I enjoyed eating their fries and the nuggets and corn dog were fresh, hot, and crispy.). I had an empanada and was concerned about the toppings but tried it anyway and I'm glad I did. It was delicious and would definitely order it again, except get the platter! The salsa that comes with the complimentary chips (with entree order) was wonderful and homemade. We were told they'll be adding more to the menu soon and look forward to being back to try it out. ”
“ My wife and I went on my birthday just to try a new restaurant. We were pleasantly surprised by the service and the quality of the food. The atmosphere was pretty awesome because of the artwork on the walls. We got some tacos to try out a they were great. The empanadas of course are the star of the menu and really made a lasting impression. Totally check it out. ”
“ Chicken Quesadilla platter was my favorite!! Empanada was great also. Authentic and very good food, Not Tex-mex like all other places. The cucumber lemonade was refreshing and also something different. Was great to try something new and support local! Owner is extremely friendly and Restaurant was extremely clean! Came here with my family, and left happy and full. ”
