The steak platter is overpriced for the quality of steak you get, but it's a homey meal Algenon Hoffman2021-02-06Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is the best ice cream shop around. If you can stop what your doing and go ask for a cone of tres leches ice cream!!! I promise you won't be disappointed!!!! Tim Williams2019-07-02Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This has quickly become one of my favorite places in Harrisonburg. On Sundays they have Carne asada being grilled outside with some rice and beans and fresh tortillas for 12 bucks (pay inside first if you don't have cash!) also go inside to get ice cream or Aguas frescas... The strawberry milk is my favorite. Very reasonable prices. You'll get alot for what you pay for. Manuel Diaz Mons2019-06-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
