Staying in GC for work, and decided to eat here on night 1. The food and salsa were SO good I came back for night 2, sitting at the bar and watching the Phillies game. Their enchiladas and tacos are AMAZING. The service was great, and the atmosphere is perfect, especially after a long day on the road.
Food was excellent and service was spectacular felt as though I was at my grandmother's house
Quick service, fresh hot food, yummy complementary salsa and chips. The mix of queso, beans and ground beef was soo tasty. The chips were fresh and crisp with the perfect amount of salt. We will definitely order from here again!
