    My husband and I went to dinner yesterday afternoon. Our server was Cy C. She was great. She was friendly and attentive.  my husband, and I both ordered a Carnitas enchilada and a cheese enchilada combo. This was the first time I ordered a carnitas enchilada and I really really liked it. I will definitely order it again. We were both very happy with the food. We will definitely be going back.
