    Dinner was delicious as always , we ordered the Pork and risotto special, tacos and enchiladas for our meals. The room we were in was a bit loud and made it difficult to hear, but our meal was enjoyable .

    When making your reservations, as for the back patio. There’s a lovely large oak tree, string lights, and fans to keep you cool. Beautiful ambiance. I tried the lobster enchiladas this time, and this was by far my favorite dish ever there. Great place to celebrate a birthday or special occasion.
