Overall, everything was good or great. We had the burger, the crispy chicken sandwich Buffalo style, the pollo a la poblano, and the spuds. The pollo a La poblano was outstanding. The sauce was irresistible. The burger was great. So was the sandwich. Especially the bread. The spuds, however were stale and undercooked. The dish has a lot of potential, but maybe our batch wasn’t fresh. The sauce that came with it was great, though.

Came late after checking into my motel. It was getting close to closing time but they didn’t bat an eye, just offered me a spot and cheerfully took care of me. The Bourbon Brisket sandwich was one of the best things I’ve had lately. Add some good music on the stereo and a good house margarita and you have a really happy guy that will come back soon. Thank you!

My new favorite place. Cool indoor/outdoor vibe, friendly staff who are good listeners, and delicious, reasonably priced food. We had fish tacos (best I remember having, made with succulent mahi mahi) and the surf’n turf (all cooked perfectly). But shhhhh, don’t tell anyone, mk?

Wow, what wonderful service and food. Our waitress was SUPER friendly and tentative to our needs. The atmosphere was very chill and open. The food was excellent and came out pretty quick. I ordered Philly cheesesteak, which had very tender beef and sautéed onions and peppers. They also give an Au jus dipping sauce that made the sandwich KILLER! The wife had Al Pastor tacos. Shredded pork with all sorts of flavor, fresh and sweet zesty taste to them. Then we shared Spuds Cantina style. It’s sliced potatoes covered in melted cheese, bacon, and cilantro with their Shwack Sauce, which tastes like an avocado ranch mixture! All three items were delicious. Perfect first-time experience.

The food was really delicious! I had the steak salad, and although the meat was thinner, it was juicy and very flavorful! It has a patio that allows dogs, but they don’t have a “dog menu”. Guacamole was really good and the tacos were tasty and a good portion size, could use just a bit more to make them a little fuller.

Highly recommend the shrimp queso and the nachos. Delicious. House salad was great, and the pork was flavorful. Kids chickadees were dry, and the sauce was too spicy for them. They ate them with sour cream instead. Quick, friendly service even with big parties. The margarita did not have a good flavor, and it was small for the price.

We all ordered hamburgers. They were big and juicy. The fries are essentially potato wedges and were crispy. They were served with ranch dressing and ketchup. The waitress was terrific! The food was prepared pretty quickly. We split two fry orders among 4 of us. Very generous servings!

We’re local aka right up the street and come at least once a week. The staff is super kind and attentive, and the quality of the food is outstanding at affordable prices. Can’t get better than that. Always craving a skinny spicy marg from these guys! The veggie burger is probably the best I’ve had in town.
