What our guests are saying
Excellent margaritas here! Especially when it's happy hour. Fajitas are flavourful. Had tacos and burritos here as well. Salsa selection is a great feature just wish the chips were a little less greasy. Olivia is a fantastic bartender. The owner also can make great margaritas. The hostess is super nice.

Second time going here. The portions are consistently a decent size. Was told the brownies are homemade by the owner and they have absolutely perfected it!

This restaurant is one of my absolute favorite places. The food , drink, atmosphere and service are top notch. Everything is made from scratch and quality ingredients. And no skimping on portions. We love coming here even though we have to drive 45 minutes. Plus the town of st Charles is charming, I highly recommend!
