The service, food, and drinks are always fantastic! They are so consistent and everything tastes great every time we are there. We also love how much space there is which makes it very family friendly. This has become a go to spot for us for a great and easy dinner night in the neighborhood.

I was under the impression that this was a mariscos place. So I was expecting a lot more fish on the menu. There is limited fish- however I did get the burger as it was recommended to me by the staff and I did like it!
We walked in with a group of about 8 and they were very accommodating there is a lot of space and a cute outdoor area as well. I would come back, just not with the intention of getting mariscos :)

•I’ve never been to a Mexican restaurant where you had to pay for chips and salsa before.
•There were no salt and pepper shakers available. We wanted some salt for the chips.
I went up to the bar and asked and was given a look like I had asked for the money in the till.
He grudgingly poured some margarita salt into a shot glass and handed it to...
