I love this restaurant, everything is a hit every time. My daughter gets the Hamburger or Taquitos and I'm always very impressed with how good it all looks. Even the hamburgers for kids are charbroiled and really thick, not frozen. The lunch special is a lifesaver if you're looking for something delicious and affordable. The carne asada is always fantastic and so is the pollo asada. I love the fresh guacamole and iced tea, also the deep fried ice cream is the best I've had in a real long time. Their coconut shrimp is flawless, too.
