It's a family business and it's a great vibe also in the restaurant ”
“ This was my fix of Hispanic not Mexican food , I loved it because it was fresh , which sometimes is an issue when you don't have big population. I enjoyed it and will go back . They have a grocery store inside that's holding all the treats and items you would need for an any authentic Hispanic dishes . ”
