Always fun to sit around drinking an extra Margarita... just while waiting for the hourly spin for free stuff! oh, and the food is good too.. chicken quesadilla was great. Can't wait for rules to change so they can bring back the 'Salsa Bar'...
Great food and superb margaritas and cocktails to choose from.
Food very slow. Tacos cold and price high..tacos also not that good. Guacamole save the day. 7.95 for a flour tortilla ... Plus 18% gratitude included
