We wanted to find a place to eat off the beaten path of Hamilton Place for lunch after church on Sunday. Church crowds usually take everything over around noon. We found this place and it's conveniently located right next to a Publix. There were maybe three tables occupied when we got there. We were put in an area by ourselves; which is awesome because the silence gave us time to talk. I always order queso, and this was the best I've had in a long time! We ordered off the lunch menu, which is available everyday until 3pm. The lunch fajitas were half the price of dinner fajitas but it was about half the skillet size. Service was slow for not being very busy but overall it was a good experience!
