About

Armadillo is a local favorite for authentic Mexican food and top-tier margaritas. While many diners rave about the steak fajitas and the welcoming atmosphere, some recent visitors have noted inconsistencies in service and food quality. The outdoor patio is a major hit for pet owners. It is a spot-on choice for a casual night out, though some find the pricing a bit steep for the portion sizes.
