Our waiter had the nicest smile. The water here is the best in Columbia. Quick food. Hot. Delicious. Alcohol. White Cheese Sauce, Oh My Goodness!

The fajitas for two should be called fajitas for FOUR! We had the combo with steak, chicken and shrimp. So much flavor, huge quantity and great service. The photo is after we ate two plates of food.

Food was out very very fast and it was delicious. We're just passing through this part of MO, but if we were local..We would return gladly. Thank you for such a great lunch. Also, we came at around 3:00 and it was very very empty but don't let that scare you.

I really love this place. The food is excellent, I’ve been there twice with a large group and the Pollo El Jimador (steak) and the burrito supreme were both amazing. The service was prompt and friendly. The atmosphere is very warm and friendly.
