Not great. The nachos and guac were decent and good portions, but everything with chicken is inedible (dramatic; the chicken is just super dry and not seasoned). I didn’t like any of the tacos I tried (sirloin steak, pork, and chicken) or the steak fajitas. The burrito came with just rice and steak inside of it with no beans or vegetables. Wouldn’t recommend. Go around the corner to Rocco’s Tacos or El Camino.

It was quite on Tuesday early. Our bartender was the best. The tacos were absolutly spot on. Going back to check the place out late Friday night.

If you’re disabled don’t attempt to come here. Unwilling to allow my friend to use their fully functional elevator when she cannot physically climb stairs (in violation of a federal act protecting the disabled), despite the fact that we asked prior to getting in line and they made us wait 20 minutes and ALMOST charged us $70 to get in just to turn us away. Club isn’t all that anyways, I’ll never try to go back again.

Garbage place . As a local Business owner, they rejected my business and told me I couldn’t enter because of my shorts, then turn around and let multiple other people enter with shorts…. When asked why we couldn’t enter because of our shorts, they told us we don’t know what we’re talking about… used to be good now ran by those with power trips

Unfortunately, although it is the first place I recommend whenever they ask me to go, the staff service is depressing at the last. I understand that they have to be with taken people, but looking at my face I wasn't, they never have a smile unless it's for whoever they want, it's not the first time it's happened to me. Although the music from the DJ upstairs is excellent and exquisite for fun and distraction and the atmosphere among people is very good, I do not recommend that you order a drink from those Bartenders. In my case, I can go out very little because I have a little girl. I always recommend that place because I can take her on the first floor, but I like upstairs to enjoy with my husband.In my opinion, I have also worked in bars and it is still complicated, but I think that the manager of that place should review that detail because I really don't think it is right.On the other hand, I return and repeat the first floor with the boys singing (as long as it's not the woman who doesn't do it well at all). The food is excellent, I love it, and the girls and boys who serve do work very well.

I was surprised the food was so good. I had the Salmon, the vegetables could have been cooked a bit more. The nachos were amazing! Everyone enjoyed their food! The party just got better and better as the night went on and the drinks were good as well. Coming back soon!

Nothing like getting kicked out for putting my head down because I was tried, I explained that I wasn't intoxicated and the bouncer was being forceful and rude. Good job for bullying a girl for putting her head down. Nice job!

Worst place ever, me and my wife got pushed down the stairs by the bouncers . Their reaction was very unnecessary. We were already leavening did not have to treat us like that .Really 5 or 6 bouncers to bully a girl ?Unfortunately I can not give this place a 0 star because the page does not give me that option.They were very aggressive and unprofessional. We were not doing anything wrong.My wife was told to leave because she didn't have any shoes on ( which I totally agreed ) Couldn't even let me explain the reason to explain that I went to the car to get her more comfortable shoes because the ones she was wearing the heel had broken.When I came back the boucer told me that she's gotta leave and I said yes. We're leaving right now. I literally came back to get my wife and leave before we were even told to leave.FOR WHAT I CAN SEE IM NOT THE ONLY ONE COMPLAINING ABOUT SECURITY BEING AGGRESSIVE.THIS PLACE IS TRAAAAAAAAAASHHHHHHHH

Bouncers are aggressive, witnessed them pushing females around, letting their authority get to their heads. Give off an unsafe bad atmosphere.

Loved the restaurant. We had a good affordable experience. The only problem I noticed when i got home was that Gratuity was already included and didn't realize I paid it a second time. I had two bills for the evening and tipped on both bills additional not realizing gratuity was already included. So I essentially paid 20 percent gratuity and then 20 percent on top of a gratuity and overall bill again. The servers should immediately let u know when u are getting ur check. I got a response from my inquiry and was assured that I would be reimbursed. I have reached out 3/4 times since that report as to get my reimbursement. No one has responded sense. My next step if I don't hear by Friday will be the better business bureau. I have spoke to 4 other people from that night that shared the same experience of not being advised on the tip being included in the bar and tipped as well on top of already have tip included and tipping additionally.

Great food and service but when the band starts playing it's wayyyy too loud and made us leave ASAP.When I have dinner with friends I want to be able to at least hear them when they scream. That wasn't the case.

Great spot for tacos and drinks. Plenty of great options on the menu. House cocktails are fantastic, and they are always trying new ones to add. The birria tacos are bomb! They were better the first time we had them, but I think because they brought them on a plate not the taco holders so the juices kinda soaked into the tortilla. Even so, they are delicious! The music is always on point and the atmosphere is quality for any kind of occasion. The manager is hands on and helpful with his staff and kind with customers. Highly recommend.(They put an automatic gratuity of 18%. I always tip 20%, so I don't mind it. Just an FYI.)
