    We went for an early dinner. I ordered the combination with Tony’s taco and cheese enchilada. My husband ordered two cheese enchiladas. We both enjoyed our food very much. The server was very attentive. If we had any complaints at all, it was the fact that the enchiladas were not real hot ( temperature wise).
