Gift Tips

  • Order the steak or mixed fajitas — the sizzling presentation and au jus are a signature experience at this location.
  • Start with the chips and salsa and the chile con queso; the thin, crispy totopos are frequently praised and pair well with margaritas.
  • Try one of their margaritas (including spicy versions) — they’re fruity, boozy, and a popular pairing with the fajitas.
  • If you have a large group, reserve ahead and be prepared to pay a deposit for big-party bookings; the restaurant handles groups well and has plenty of seating.
  • Ask for servers like Sergio, Francisco, Alex, or Jessika if available — specific staff are noted for attentive, friendly service that enhances the meal.
