Phenomenal Quesadilla's @ excellent price(s); the portion of food I receive is awesome & living in Utica- where there's no grocery store (+I'm not mobile currently)..cantbeat the cost nor the convenience of this delicious menu selection! I also enjoy the space that I'm able to occupy while there- I don't care to eat cramped up next to others & there's plenty of dining room/space at the V.I. Also- the drink prices are decent & I enjoy the atmosphere & conversations with the courteous/friendly owner(s); it's a pretty laid back, and adult-like environment here & I will be back soon!

Incredible food in a great environment with super friendly staff. We loved the buffalo chicken pizza, Chicken quesadilla, and especially the mango habanero chicken wings! The best part was the price at the end, everything is very affordable.

We have been here a few times, and recently just got some food on Saturday night. The owner is always so friendly, and willing to accommodate which is one of the biggest reasons we continue to come back. HOWEVER they have been rolling out new food items so we decided to give a few of them a try and HOLY COW SO DELICIOUS. Utica is a small town with not a lot of food options, so we are thrilled to have such good food so close to us. We ordered the quesadilla, it was so so good. But the star of the show were the wings! We ordered the chicken wings in both buffalo garlic, and mango habanero, I cannot say enough about these wings! They are battered and have the perfect amount of crisp, while being super meaty and juicy, but the sauces were top notch! If you are ever in the area be sure to stop in, not only will you get delicious food, but INCREDIBLE service, and a fun atmosphere.
