Did was excellent. My Dad and I always hit up a Mexican restaurant on our road trips. We both ordered the chimichangas with beef tips. Very good! Excellent portions and was not stingy with the sour cream and guacamole. Most places didn't add much for seasoning but this place added a bit of cilantro and others. Not spicy at all.
