These are different dishes with different contents—not identical meals discounted at lunch. Browse the full menu and serving details before choosing.
Plan Your Group’s Menu Budget
Choose one entrée and drink per guest, plus an optional appetizer for the table. The estimate includes automatic gratuity for eight or more guests.
Tax and any voluntary tip are excluded. For parties below eight, no tip is added by this calculator. One appetizer is one order, not a claim that it will serve the whole group.
Choose the Entrée First
The Family Style Dinner is $7 less than chicken fajitas, $8 less than combo fajitas and $9 less than beef fajitas. Compare what each includes rather than assuming a cheaper price means the same meal.
Compare Your Drinks
A House Margarita at $12.25 costs $8.30 more than a $3.95 soft drink. For two drinks, that is a $16.60 difference before tax and tip.
Check the Gratuity Line
Groups of eight or more have a published 20% gratuity added. Check your bill so you can make an informed decision about any additional tip.
Payment and group planning: the regular menu says cash-only and no credit cards. Event policies also mention accepting checks for events. General reservations are available for parties of 20 or more with preselected food and drinks; event prices and minimums should be confirmed separately.
