This is a great local, family owned gem. We eat there at least once a week. Could be described as a "hole in the wall". They have "happy hour" specials M-T from 5-7PM (prime fmaily dining hours). The chicken in the BEST! Super yummy - kids and adults agree. My son could live on the refried beans and chicken quesedilla. We were shocked when he proclaimed "quesedilla" as a 16 month old, most probably since that is one of my favorites. There is a mural of 3 singing cowboys which in addition to the TVs tuned to soccer and the picture windows for Metro bus spotting keep our son entertained for the duration of dinner. Super affordable and family friendly.
