I did not expect the restaurant to be so large! Best part was the fact we came on a Sunday, maybe they have live performances every night idk but I was extremely pleased with the beautiful spanish gentleman singing. Sonce it was karaoke style they even had an adorable black girl mid 20s sing beyonce. It was truly satisfying. Guacamole and salsa exceeded my expectations (as it should lol) Babe loved his “dippy tacos” lol as i call them and my taco salad was so good.m! The corn chip bowl was unlike any other so mf good. They family friendly culture (cute babies ) and they way everyone felt included made the meal more of an experience i loved it. Oh and our waitress was so cute and sweet.

Familia Grande. A warm inviting and hospitable restaurant with a full bar and plenty of tables. They have a huge menu and probably too many choices! Great food and wowza margaritas! This place is so authentic that the waitress didn’t speak English but was very nice and friendly with us. I think my favorite thing was the live music that was playing during our dinner with no cover charge!!!
