    Didn't look like much, but our food was very good.

    We ate dinner here and were pleasantly surprised. Our food was very good. The atmosphere left a little bit to be desired. It could use a update. Overall it was pretty good.

    Bad Service

    Food not that great. Burnt chorizo. Chili was awful. Service was worse. Never came back to refill our drinks. All we ordered was eggs and chorizo and couldn’t get that right. Never again.
