This wouldn't have been some thing I would have ordered on my own so I'm so glad I took her suggestion. It was fantastic. The portion was huge and I was able to take some home for a second meal.

The entire staff was super friendly and helpful. Can't wait to head back down to this area to eat here again. I would highly recommend going out of your way if you're not local and eating here.

One thing I have noticed on each visit is that the table does not "belong" to one employee. Every one steps in to make your experience wonderful. The salsa is thin but with nice chunks of tomato. The chips crisp. They also have some fun variations of margaritas. I enjoyed a watermelon one. What made this visit special though was my dish. I tried the Camarones A La Crema. Oh my goodness! This dish is amazing. I literally could not stop eating but still had leftovers. Creamy, cheesy with a slight bite from the Parmesan cheese. The shrimp perfect. I built tacos with the shrimp, rice and beans then added a dab of the guacamole I had ordered. Amazing. Please try it. You will be back for more. It's the next day and after eating my leftovers for dinner, I'm checking to see when they open today.
