Sophia is a 5star server! She goes above and beyond to make us feel like family every single time we come-every Sunday! She is the reason we never miss a Sunday. The food is always done to our liking as well. We are long time regulars and Sophia, Orlando and Lupe are the reason we continue to come every Sunday.
