Food was amazing, service was terrible everything seemed rushing from the workers seating you, taking your order, making sure everything is doing well, bringing the bill a very rush process seems like they only care for customers they know .

Over rated Mexican joint. There are Mexican restaurants much better. The Hostess has a wonderful personality. The waiters need a lot more enthusiasm. They act like they're doing you a favor.
Not writing down the orders tends to cause serious errors especially when ordering food. Waiter brought wrong request to the table. My wife didn't say anything until after. Unfortunately we will not be going back. Should've taken her to a taco truck.
