   If you don’t mind crying babies, screaming kids, adults drumming in tables and walking babies up and down the aisles then go. The food is reasonable and about the only queso you can find in the area. But it’s a family place so be prepared for the noise.

   The restaurant is pretty run down. The food was cold when it was served. There is a nice view out of the windows.

   I don’t blame the server, but we were sat, and got service 30 mins after sitting. It was Valentine’s Day so we assumed it was just a super busy day but it seemed like she had tables that were really far apart from each other and seemed really stressed. Our chips, drinks, and food were delayed but I wonder if they just need to help the severs by hiring more people or reorganizing the sections?
