Chips & Salsa
The house-made salsa is a highlight, offering a delicious balance of sweet and spicy with a generous portion of chips.
"but the star of the night were the chips & salsa. the in-house made salsa was so delicious. it had the nicest sweet taste with a solid kick of spice all blended so perfectly together. the portion was huge, but we cleaned the bowl!! I would go back for this salsa, they need to sell these by the jar!"
