I recently ate here with a bunch of in-laws and I have to say that it was very good food. I have to agree that the service is a bit relaxed. Portion size is more than adequate. They do have 3 different bottles of sauce that you can really spice things up with. Decor was a bit too open for my liking, but I guess they’re working with what they have. I’d take a Dos Equis Amber over a Tecate personally – they do have a good selection of beers. Price was very competitive, especially for what you get. I would definitely recommend anyone rolling threw to give it a try.
