    Margaritas excellent. I had a combination plate with steak taco, cheese enchilada, rice and beans. I don’t usually care for rice but this was seasoned excellently. The beans were nothing special but good. The enchilada had lots of cheese and was topped with red sauce. The taco was delicious. The shell was a hard but not so much that they heard the crunch across the room and the steak was soft and had a bit of spice to it. All-in- all, I will go back. BYW, service was right on point.

    What a great vibe!! The servers are funny and friendly. The food was delicious. It's one of the few restaurants on the strip that's affordable. Make sure you get the chips and salsa. They are all homemade.
