“Sooo Glad they were able to expand and in a nice structure that really didn’t need much . They took it up Several notches and that’s really good I think that they have the Best Birria Tacos on the Planet !! ! . I’ve eaten so many I was not afraid to venture out and try something different I ordered the ElPablano Platter which consisted of steak Shrimp and chicken rice and Avocado and a special cheese sauce ….I need a cup to bring all of that sauce home. With my left overs because there was alot of food. I have a watermelon margaritas… It could have stood a r a s bit more alcohol. But it was great it came smoking and rimmed with sugar Great Food and good drinks and Honesty OMG I BROUGHT my Ipad and my car keyes in and left them in the bench. The lady who was seating. People had it so when I was lookingfor it they said oh here you go ma’am I was just that hungry….I forgot about my Ipad and the keys to my entire life. I owe her a lunch for that . Everything was awesome.”
