Our Guestbook
“ The hostess was very accommodating on where we wanted to sit. Savanna was our server and she was fantastic. I really wanted the Barbacoa. But I wanted the sampler and it had chicken quesadillas. She was kind enough to switch out the chicken quesadillas with the Barbacoa. My husband has steak fajita and shrimp, and he also was very satisfied. A lot of food that we could not take home with us because we are traveling. We had a side of guacamole, and that was also fresh and very yummy. ”
