Excellent Service and Great Food

by SuburbanMan

My family just moved across the street and this place is amazing! The service is excellent and the food is remarkable!! We have been over half a dozen times and every time we keeping getting wow'd by the place. The patio is excellent - and on Saturday they have live bands on the patio. They have a stuffed avocado that is absolutely out of this world good....and there's just enough spice in all their dishes (though I tried the Habanero wings and they were incredibly spicy....but I ate them all).

They're VERY family friendly and offer a wide variety of food to please basically everyone....

This is our gem in the burbs....and the kids love the birds on the patio!!

• Pros: Out of this world food!
• Cons: Parking on busy nights....

Best Neighborhood Place Around

by YALEGRAD

I absolutely LOVE this restaurant. I live across the street and the kids and I go here at least 3 times a week. The staff is always friendly and the food is wonderful. How many Mexican restaurants do you know that serve peanut butter and jelly on a kids meal? Their menu includes pretty much everything - including old fashioned hamburgers....old fashioned meaning they make them by hand - they don't use a preformed frozen hamburger patty. The kids love the curly fries and I always get steamed broccoli....yeah fresh steamed broccoli!

The service has always been outstanding - the waitresses know me by name and know how I like my margarita! The kids love their homemade banana pudding too.

It is without question one of the best neighborhood spots to go and hang out and enjoy an amazing meal!

Oh yeah - the kids love the birds on the patio!!

• Pros: Excellent local spot to hang out and have a great margarita!
• Cons: None that I have experienced....

Terrible Service and Management

by cmauer1

We went to this restaurant last night and when our food was brought out we noticed an insect came out with it and got on the table. We called the manager over and showed him, he laughed and took the insect away without apologizing or saying anything. He acted like it was no big deal. We waited a few minutes and he never returned. The waitress apologized, but the manager never returned so we decided to leave and told the waitress we were going. After we were in the parking lot the owner approached us and asked us to pay the bill. I was shocked! We had not even eaten anything, not to mention the insect at our table. He proceeded to threaten us with "theft of service" and argue in front of kids and everyone. He commented that this was common and was no big deal. At the other resteraunts I have been too this was not common, and if there was any type of problem, they were quick to rectify the situation. I was very disappointed at the way the situation was handled and would not recommend this place to anyone.

• Pros: None
• Cons: Bad Service, Not helpful to customers, Poor management staff.
