    The food was good. Guacamole needed a little flavor. The inside atmosphere was nice but it was freezing. Some members in our party didn’t even take off their jackets. Quote chilly. Our server Emily was nice and attentive. She even persuaded us to try the dessert burrito. It was honestly quite delicious!
