This was a first-time visit for the entire party. We all participated in the Sunday Brunch. The food was fresh and delicious, and the service we received was outstanding! Isai was our server and he made sure drinks were filled and that we had everything we needed. He provided just the right amount of attention, without being annoying or interrupting our conversation. We literally lingered for four hours and made several trips through the buffet line! Our favorites were the chili verde, cervche, and birria tacos!! The mimosas were delicious and the buffet was well-worth the price! We loved it so much, we decided we’d make it a regular meeting spot for our gatherings!
