Tonite was the first time they were opened for DINNER...and it was Mexican fare. SO Good! Open Fri and Saturday evenings 2p-9p. Geno and Rena are very accommodating and friendly. We have gone for breakfast many times, and will be back again for the Steak and eggs special! Its local and a "MUST" go to spot!

This place is fantastic. My wife and I stopped in for breakfast and were very pleased. I had the country skillet and was impressed with it. Everything was cooked perfectly, they even made sure to add the things like Bell peppers towards the end so they weren't raw or overcooked. It had fresh shredded cheese sprinkled on the top that was so fresh I got to watch it melt on my plate. Everything was seasoned well so it was flavorful but not overpowering, none of it was bland or lifeless. I'm definitely going to be coming back asap, especially since we both left full and happy for a whopping 25.
