Called the restaurant to offer them catering for 1300 people. Someone who picked up insisted that he can NOT give the managers number. How do you do business? Too bad. Food is actually good there

The atmosphere and decorations are great! The food was very bland. Ordered the queso fundito, enchiladas, 2 shrimp tacos and 2 tilapia tacos. The queso fundito came out yellow - I'm used to the traditional WHITE cheese. The cheese literally tasted like the big bricks of velvetta cheese, melted...it was so awful. The enchiladas had zero seasoning - the chicken was very dried and the refried beans didn't have any beans in it...it was just watery brown liquid from them... just bad. The mango margarita I ordered which was supposed to be frozen was icy at best...maybe their machine wasn't working but it wasn't frozen. Waiter disappeared after we placed our order.. once the food came had to get up and find him to ask for sauces and additional seasoning to fix the food. Tacos come ungarnished - just fish/shrimp and tortillas.. we had to ask for pico de gallo and a sauce...something. No bueno...won't be back.

We had reservations Sunday at 5:30 for a table of four the waitress was very unpleasant no personality very slow did not pay attention to our order. We had to ask her twice for the correct order. We asked her if they had a certain kind of drink told her we did not want jalapeños and a spicy margarita it was full of jalapeños, the food was cold. Received the sampler platter as an appetizer seems like it was all frozen food just warmed up. She never came to our table at the end just to give us our check. . I was at the point was not gonna leave her a tip Anyway, they need better service. Better communication more friendly, and happy atmosphere. Food was ready within 10 minutes. That's why we know it was not freshly cooked. Seems like it was In the microwave/ we told her we were there to celebrate a birthday. She did not even acknowledge that.

The food is great, service is amazing. Besides the one server “Sebastian” who is very much rude, when I come to pick up my order, he asked if we want our change back or if “it’s ok” although it’s $20 + change, and because I took longer than expected to pick up, he shouted “FINALLYYY”. Shouldn’t be in the customer industry if it bothers you so much to provide customer service the nice & respectful way?.
I celebrate my birthday there,whit Mariachi ????⭕️❌

This restaurant is beautifully decorated and serves delicious authentic Mexican food with traditional drinks and more! Our server, Sebastian was wonderful! He was fun and funny and polite and attentive. We will definitely be back again!

It's a tight space. The chips were stale. The host was rude and seemed annoyed when I said I had a reservation. She got the table ready but didn't even tell me it was ready. I had to ask her after standing at the bar waiting for some time because she never came back. I ordered steak tacos, and they came back with pork (I don't eat pork). We told the waiter that someone at the table had a bday, and they celebrated people who came after us but never sang happy bday to our table.
