Place was very clean and service and food were so good! We got the large size guac and there was so much of it, we were happy to take some home as leftovers! The fajitas are the size of a small child. The egg and potato tacos are delicious. The French toast coated in caramel sauce also 5 stars! Never a bad meal here!!!!
