During a blizzard, I walked from my hotel to a busy and well-staffed restaurant where the quesadilla and Carne Asada were very good, accompanied by jumbo margaritas and tasty chips and salsa. The service was attentive and friendly, the menu extensive with classic Tex-Mex dishes, and overall the food quality and atmosphere made for a satisfying dining experience.

During a recent blizzard, my family and I decided to walk to a nearby restaurant for an impromptu dinner. To our surprise, the restaurant was bustling with customers and had a full staff on hand. We ordered a quesadilla and Carne Asada, both of which were delicious, and indulged in a couple of jumbo Texas Margs. The service was excellent, with attentive and friendly staff making our dining experience enjoyable.
