My beloved enjoyed his chicken fajita tostada; crispy fresh vegetables and generous sour cream & guacamole portions. The establishment charges extra 3.5% if paying with credit card.

Frankly, I find that practice coercive & refuse to participate in such.

The service is consistently amazing: attentive, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. You can tell they truly care about their customers. The food? Out of this world. Everything is fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with love. The cheese enchiladas, rice, and beans are hands down some of the best I've had...perfectly seasoned and so satisfying. And don't even get me started on the margaritas (try watermelon!) - delicious, refreshing, and the perfect complement to the meal. A special shoutout to the owner, Chelsea, who is absolutely wonderful. Her passion for what she does shines through in every detail, from the food to the overall experience. Tucked away in the shopping center off Tavern Road, this spot is a hidden gem that you don't want to miss. Once you try it, you'll definitely be back!

It's the kind of place where you know what you're getting, and it hits the spot. Their California burrito is a beast.

I got the Flying Saucer with Carne Asada. Basically it's a giant tostada with beans, lettuce, cheese, tomatoes, meat and something called "American Guacamole" which is basically light green sour cream. It's supposed to be sour cream and avocado but it mostly tasted like sour cream. I probably could have done without that on but honestly, overall the Flying Saucer was super flavorful and the crisp fried flour tortilla and well seasoned steak totally made this a surprisingly flavorful meal. The Jamaica was also very tasty and refreshing--not too sweet. The decor is colorful, small but cute outdoor patio. The staff are friendly. My only caveat is the restroom. If you are planning to go there at night, bring a flashlight or use your phone because there is absolutely no light in the bathroom. It was bizarre. And the door outside the restroom kept creaking and shutting itself, so we joked that there was a ghost.
