Very flavorful, large portions, and fun atmosphere. Their patio is large and pretty nice, as long as weather permits. We had the chicken burrito and steak enchiladas (with green sauce). Both were really tasty and filling, even brought a little bit home. Will definitely return to try more of the menu and probably hit up the Happy Hour, Min - Thurs 4-8pm
