As always we had a great meal at a great value with excellent service. Our server Marley was very attentive and got us everything we wanted in a timely manner. Great server! Also spoke to the General Manager Ashley and told her what a great job they were doing in offering special deals at great prices-even free delivery. So if you don't want to go out to the restaurant you can have it delivered for free! Keep up the good work Ashley!

I ordered the fiesta platter with no jalapeños and no onions. The order was correct on the third try. I received jalapeños and onions. The second attempt no jalapeños but onions in the quesadilla. The third attempt was correct.
