Hidden little gem!! Love that they offer both Italian and Mexican food and they do both cuisines very well! Everything tasted super fresh and flavorful. I do hope they can switch back to real plates eventually once they have more staff, but other than that, loved the food and atmosphere.

Possibly the best steak tacos I have ever had. The rest of my party loved the pulled pork, which is one of the specialties. Service was also amazing and the family owned atmosphere was a bonus. Give them a try and you'll see why their ratings are so high.

We decided to step in today to try the food, from a friend's recommendation. We were NOT disappointed! The service was very friendly, and the food......DELICIOUS! We ordered the Taco pizza, and ate it with a side of sour cream. It was so good! Had loads left over, and to our surprise, it's even delicious cold! We will be back soon.
