Every dish served was even more fresh than the one before!! I really enjoyed how healthy, yet flavorful everything was. The chicken fajita salad was definitely my favorite. I could eat that several times a week LOL I was really surprised how full I was considering how light the dishes were.. can’t wait to try some more!
