Fully decorated for holidays and bursting with cheer, the place was buzzing with excitement. Tonight we had Anneliese as our server and she was spectacular. Very attentive and on her game. She recommended the spicy ghost rita' and it is my new favorite. Thank you Anneliese The brownie Sundae was of course delicious as always.

Always a decent meal here. I appreciate the chips and salsa given right after sitting down. The cheese stuffed fried jalapeños were very good for an appetizer. I got the border smart chicken fajitas for the main meal which is a hefty portion size for a relatively low calorie meal compared to the rest of the menu and it was tasty. The margarita was alright. Friendly service.

Yummy warm salted chips with Guacamole!!! Margaritas on the rocks with salt. We are surprised more people weren't there for dinner. Very clean and service was good.
