Description

Inside, the dining room pairs rustic-chic Spanish tiling with exposed beams, while the comfortable outdoor setup serves as a dog-friendly spot for neighborhood watching. The menu covers familiar standards like quesadillas, burritos, and fajitas, though execution can be hit-or-miss, with guests noting occasionally overcooked tacos. Keep in mind that gratuity is automatically added to the bill, and some diners find the pricing steep for the overall quality.
