The food was pretty good, we had an enjoyable time. The view is pretty decent overall. We had fun.. a little pricey. For. For people and a baby with two beers and two shots of tequila about $235. The economy is so expensive right now. It's kinda hard to justify doing this other than the fact that it was somebody that's very special to me birthday.
The views were nice (on a gray day) but the food was truly terrible and it was super loud with groups and kid birthday parties, complete with popping balloon hats. Ugh.
An unforgettable lunch filled with mouthwatering food, surrounded by amazing company, made for an incredible experience that I won't soon forget!
So, you know the old saying," you get what you pay for" and it is true here, at best average food, EXCEPT for the chicken skewer, that my husband had which was raw. Totally put us off the whole place. Service was good, and friendly, but the food...Oh dear.
The food is a 5* for sure. They have large servings as well. The carnitas enchiladas were bomb, the steak and shrimp fajitas also bomb. The service was a 3*... the waitress was a bit rude. We had 8 total with 4 kids with us, she was not friendly. I noticed the attitude and didn't say anything, then my husband noticed and told me she wasn't friendly. Our kids were well behaved and we weren't difficult with orders or anything so not sure what was up. I would not consider this place kid friendly for a few reasons. 1. No activity sheet with crayons for kids, they gave us 1 kids menu for both of our families to share, not sure they were low or what but we asked for two and were told they only had 1. They don't have kids cups with lids and straws, this alone is almost worth not going back. Both the 4 year olds spilled their water and were playing with it. Their cups for the kids were just open cups. If you get kids cups with kids and straws then let us know and we will be back. The alcoholic drinks were okay. I sensed some carbonation in the skinny margarita which I hate, the menu did not say it had soda water. The glass was skinny and tall, I personally look forward to the classic old fashioned double walled glasses. The tajin rim was weak too. Overall the food was so good almost worth going back for but would love to see some friendlier service and kids cups.
Good overall...tortilla soup was mid at best. The fajitas were good but pricey for what you get. Nice place.
The food smelled great but tasted very bland, except everything was unexpectedly sweet. The beans, salsa, fajitas, even the chips had a sweetness. And the blandness was not just a lack of heat (which was surprising), but even general seasonings including salt were lacking.
The table was sticky and the windows overlooking the spectacular view were dirty.
Overall, disappointing especially considering the price.

This place used to be cute but I guess it didn't survive covid. The inside is so run down. The margaritas were weak and the taco buffet was like a school lunch cafeteria. It was very disappointing. We went on a Saturday and it was almost completely empty. ?

Do not come here if you are expecting good food or good service. They “lost” my reservation I made a week in advance for a party of 20. Upon arrival other guests were compiling of the same issue. 1 star is too high I would give zero.

Thought we would check this place out after walking all day. A margarita sounded good and the food got decent reviews. Our waiter was very friendly, but when we asked for the house margaritas he said "no, I do not sell those...they are garbage" He then explained to us what we wanted, which of course were much more expensive. We are from Tucson, we understand what a house margarita is, and that is all we wanted. We ended up ordering water. Kicker is that they advertise their house margaritas as being famous. Food was ok, but not great. He did the same thing to the people sitting next to us. Not sure if it is a bait and switch that the restaurant encourages, or just one waiter trying to drive up tabs to get better tips.

Saddest restaurant ever. The food was sad looking and sad tasting. Very expensive especially for the quality of the food. The shrimp fajitas weren't even grilled or chard at all. They looked steam out of a bag. The Chile replenish tasted like it had been frozen for a while. The rice and beans were just okay. The veggie fajita was pretty sad. We sat at the bar which wasn't even full only 4 more people there and the lady at the bar forgot our margaritas and came back to check up on us only once. Again, saddest place to go. Nothing was good not even the service.

The place smells dirty. Very musty. And their posted time of opening was wrong. Asked about their claim to the best margarita in town? The female bartender was like”well everyone likes to say that, but I dunno”. Very low rent. Just walk to Main Street and hit old Town Mexican Cafe or Rockin Baja Lobster
