Yesterday I dined in for the Saturday breakfast and tried that Chilaquiles with Sunnyside eggs and I tried to bottomless mimosas for $14 that you also can have the bloody Mary 14, which is a steel was on point. The manager was friendly and very attentive and make sure we had everything we needed Restaurant is really nice and clean. I love the bathrooms that are sparkling, clean and smell good not like other restaurants

I was blown away at how GOOD the food was for Thanksgiving; what the heck! This whole time our family could have been gathering here. Lol. I’m mildly mad I’m just discovering this dining experience now. Haha. Lastly, THE TURKEY WAS DEEP FRIED!!! 🤩👏👏👏👏
