Waitress was very sweet! We got tacos and fajita's- tacos were amazing! However the fajita's were kind of sweet tasting, very different than anything we have had before, not bad just different. Inside was an interesting atmosphere- lots of things to look at and included a large cocktail and food menu. Tacos were reasonably priced, however they did not come with much meat and the fajitas did seem pricey.

So fantastic. I took my sister and brother-in-law here one night, and it was so great that we went back two more times that week during their visit. A week later I took my whole department there for lunch and everybody said what a great choice I had made. Everyone loves this restaurant. The food is terrific, the decor is lovely, the bathrooms are really cute, the service is very good. During the pandemic I ordered takeout almost every week and it was consistently spectacular

Very disappointed with this restaurant. I’ve been a loyal customer for years, but this visit left me frustrated. The prices have become unreasonable. My sister ordered a tequila with seltzer, and the bill came to $18 plus an extra $1 just for the seltzer. Then, my friend and I each ordered a mango margarita with mezcal, and they tried to charge us an additional $2 per drink just for mango juice. They eventually removed the charge after we complained.
On top of that, when we asked for lime, instead of proper slices, they gave us only tiny wedges and still charged $2 extra. It feels like they are taking advantage of customers, especially since many people don’t carefully check their bills.
It’s such a shame, because the food is delicious—but I won’t be returning. Shame on them for treating loyal customers this way.

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 ????⭕️❌
