We had great food and great service. It was fast and very friendly. The decor was pleasant and inviting. If we were to return to Jackson, it would become a favorite spot.

Visited this restaurant last evening with my 2 adult children about 9pm. We were seated immediately and someone did bring chips and salsa soon after, but then didn't have anyone give us menus or take our drink orders for at least 10 minutes. Our server did come back in a timely way to take our orders, but then didn't bring our drinks until right before we got our dinner. We all ordered vegetarian burritos which I thought were average, given that I've had similar dishes at other restaurants. Between us, we ordered a margarita and a tequila sunrise, and were surprised that the alcohol overwhelmed the other ingredients in the drinks, rather than compliment them. Some folks might not mind that though. The bill was about $60, including tip for dinner, drinks (2), and one non alcoholic drink. Overall, I left feeling disappointed. I do want to say that our servers were pleasant and attentive when we saw them.

Wanted to eat burger place beside this restaurant which was fantastic 2yrs ago but still closed for the season.wr took a chance on this restaurant. It was only average in every way. Service was slow
I got napkins and utensils myself. Wanted out of drinks and finally left thirsty. We both had burritos. husband's chicken burrito was just ok
My pork was good but the sauce wasn't and very little of it. I shocked it got good ratings.
