Visiting from Texas! I would say its okay.... more of a sports bar vibe and not family restaurant vibe at all. The waitress we had was great and the drinks were good, but food wise it could have been better for the price!

My husband and I went for dinner yesterday July 14, 2025. The food was delicious. It was a slow night but I didn't mind because it was very quiet. The service was good and the price of the food was reasonable. I highly recommend this place

Went for the first time last night. The Dj was great! Amazing music! Food was subpar and expensive. $57 for 1 shrimp cocktail (very salty/few shrimps) and 5 coconut shrimp. Also we were with a group of friends just sitting together. But everyone was ordering their drinks or food separately. Because we were all sitting together EVERT TIME anything was ordered a gratuity was added because we were a group. It wasn't one bill were as usual gratuity would be added for a large group. It was for every single transaction!! Drinks were as expensive as a nightclub $18 per mixed drink.

Friendly staff and nice menu items. We came through a few weeks ago on bicycles. The manager was very kind and accommodating with us. He
found a secure location to park the bikes. It was in-between lunch and dinner time and the food was fresh and very tasty! I hope we will find the opportunity to be there again!

I’ve visited twice, first time I went to try their seafood which is poor quality. This time, I said, benefit of the doubt, let’s try their steaks. For the prices they charge, on both seafood and steaks, I think a little effort should be made. The seafood is flavorless even though they use a good amount of fillers for flavor. And their steaks, if they can be called that are basically choice steaks and the wrong cuts cooked at temperatures that aren’t even what the customer orders. Oh, and their kitchen helper garlic mashed potatoes need to be properly heated on whatever they use to heat or cook in their kitchen.

The ugliest food I've ever had. It seemed like they gave me the dish two days ago. No wonder there weren't any people in this place. I don't understand where these good reviews come from if this place is only for drinking, not eating

Came here for the first time during happy hour and there was nothing happy about it . Service was slow. We all placed our orders for food and it took forever to come out. The shrimp ceviche had too much of a clamato taste and the shrimp cocktail we order had octopus when we clearly asked for it with just shrimp. The shrimp caldo was the last to come out and it literally had like 6 shrimp and was a bit too salty. The tacos gobernador were ok but the tortilla was a bit burnt. Food was overpriced in my opinion. We had to keep asking for napkins and condiments because they didn't have that readily available at the tables. Mind you it was just our table and another table that was being served. When the bill came the drinks that I ordered were not "part of the HH menu" but it clearly said cocktails. Waitress stated that only the margaritas were part of the HH menu but it clearly said 50% off cocktails. Never going back to this place again.

It was our first time here. Not what we were expecting. To start off, they had only sprite, Diet Coke and agua fresca. We asked for a straw, they didn’t have any straws but coffee stirs. I order the Camarones Monia, the beans tasted bitter like if they were going bad and the rice didn’t have any taste. The service over all was okay. I will definitely not come back ever again.
