Nice and quaint atmosphere. Family owned and operated. Delicious food and service with a smile. After preparing our meal the owner came out from the kitchen and checked up on us and I thought that was awesome! Theres plenty to choose from on the menu. The tacos are very good and filling so dont let the size fool you!
