Was in the area of this restaurant so tried it and now I will have to make this one of our trips as it is an hour from home! Our server, Marcella, was the best! She recommended #79 burrito w/shrimp, chicken and steak and red, green peppers with a bed of rice and white cheese sauce over it! Omg! It was amazing and so much food I couldn’t eat it all! My husband had the #45 fajitas w/ chicken and steak! He loved it! The portions are enough to have some for lunch the next day! Wish there was such an authentic Mexican restaurant near me! We will now have to find reasons to come out here!
