I had the chimichanga with fajita chicken and queso on the side, and my husband had the Original Dinner. I'm picky about meat and, although the flavor was great, I didn't absolutely love the texture of the chicken. He traded me his fried flour tortilla with refried beans, cheese, lettuce and tomatos (I forget what this is called) and I kept the queso to eat with the rice & beans sides. He ate everything else, including my chimichanga. We both left very happy, full, and with a reasonable pricetag.
The salsa is pretty darn hot, so don't forget to ask for butter to cool off the free chips and salsa appetizer (if you aren't dieting, obviously).
We will definitely be back.

The food was great. I had beef enchiladas. My top 2 of all time. If I could duplicate the sauce I would eat enchiladas twice a week back in Ohio. Drinks and service also great.

if you like Mexican cuisine you will not be disappointed! It is the "original" with great food and great service! I have been many times and always take my guests here, when we have out of town visitors! Everyone wants to go back when they come back to visit us!
