On 6/11/2025 Bobbie Russie had this to say:
We ordered delivery for the first time as we just moved into the neighborhood. OMG food was hot and fresh. Steak and cheese enchiladas were great. Fajita serving is enough for at least two. Everything tasted great. Chips are store bought so nothing special. We’ll try to eat in next time.
