Regulars count on warm hospitality from the floor, with the host often walking tables through the menu with bites of slow-cooked pulled beef and beverage samples. Meals kick off with complimentary baskets of chips and salsa before moving on to bubbling mixed fajitas served on pre-heated plates that keep everything warm. The bar pours fresh margaritas alongside a housemade peach tequila infusion that finishes off the table’s spread.

  • Guided Pre-Order Protein and Beverage Tastings

    Diners uncertain about what to order receive tableside tastings of proteins and drinks directly from the owner to guide their selections.

    Substantial portion sizes and abundant platters provide ideal sharing options for relaxed group dinners and social team gatherings.

  • Nachos

    Unfortunately for us, a single choice was becoming too difficult so following his recommendation chose the Nachos and Loco Enchilada Mexico.

    Cameron McCarten

  • Tacos

    I especially loved the tacos. The fresh toppings, like the crisp lettuce and shredded cheese, really stood out against the tender meat.

    Lina Meier

  • Chilli Con Carne Burrito

    The chilli con carne burrito had proper spice and all the sides paired well with the meal.
