Chef Ford Fry and Chef Kevin Maxey, together designed a “Mex-Tex” menu that plays to their own Texan roots, tracing the beginnings of the cuisine to the 1930s, when Mexican cooks first doctored up their dishes to suit a “Gringo” palate with Americanized elements, giving birth to the Tex-Mex dialogue. “Kevin and I wanted to do food we like to eat,” Fry said. “It’s natural for a chef to want to be true to a certain culture, and likewise, we wanted to do authentic Tex-Mex, because it developed where we’re from.”

    My wife and I celebrated our 60th wedding anniversary. What a wonderful evening. Meal was delicious but the service made our experience even more memorable. Only wish I could remember our waiter’s name to give him a special call out.. highly recommended!!

    We had a large party of 17 people for a graduation celebration. Our servers were so attentive and really added to our great experience. Their teamwork kept our drinks full and questions answered. All the food was delivered at the same time which can be a challenge with such a large party. Everyone enjoyed their meal. Despite the construction, the restaurant still had a nice atmosphere. Thank you for being so attentive and making our special day perfect.
