    Nothing but great things to say! We ordered off the tacos menu and everything was great! The fries were sooo good! As well as the service the woman taking our order provided recommendations and a gentleman wiped down our high chairs for us before we put our kids down without us asking! All around great experience!

    Something different, clean, friendly staff. Food was good, pepsi had a good mix. Clean bathrooms. We had tacos, kids had pizza and chicken tenders and they both loved it. A little pricey but when on vacation you can't worry about that. Stop on in and check it out.

    Food was delicious. Staff was friendly enough. You don't interact with them much except to order and receive your meal. Drinks and condiments are self-serve. If you have children, they only offer a cheeseburger and chicken tenders (8.95 ea.) on their kids menu. Adult meal options start at 5.95 for a street taco. Other options include burgers and meat entrees (brisket, pork, etc.)
