Many missteps in customer service and drink quality. We walked into the restaurant right when they opened at 5 pm. The music was blasting so loud that we had to yell at the server. The did turn the music down but still too loud for normal conversation so we sat outside where the music was quieter. The server was nice and informed. We ordered margaritas which were disappointing, very weak and more ice than drink. The chicken fajita was good though. Doubt we will ever go back there

Majorly overpriced. Mediocre food. Service ok. The patio is very nice.
The $46 margarita pitcher was mostly ice and juice. Did you forget to put the tequila in? Scam. I should have complained. Like other reviewers, I had no idea I could pay in cash to get a “discount”. Avoid this restaurant, as the owner is obviously not taking feedback seriously (from reading reviews and responses) and a sign is on the door that they will be closing by the end of the year!

Just returned from dinner at Cesca's. Two people, chips, guac, quesadillas, margaritas. $145. Prices here have gotten ridiculous. The margaritas were weak as well. Next time I'll go to Cesars on Broadway.

The back patio is obviously a big pull, but all of the food we have tried has been excellent. We had an issue to two during one of our many visits and they quickly and graciously solved the problem. We will continue to go regularly!

Deceptively large patio in the rear. Greeted by a very friendly employee who invited us to look around before we decided to stay or leave.

Great chips, salsa and guacamole.

If your website says you open at 12:00PM on Sundays, families expect that. We are not going to wait an hour because your website has a typo. ? For those wondering, The Lonesome Rose opens down the street at 11:00AM and is amazing! ?

Hostess did not understand me when i said we were with a group, had to get interpreter. Fish on my tacos was pulverized, not good. Had to ask for silverware. Service was slow. Would not do separate checks. Drink prices were ridiculous. $90 for two people and I left hungry.

Everything was sub-par. Not inclined to ever go back.

Atmosphere is fantastic. Service is amazing all very welcoming and nice. The food is 10/10 our group had different plates and everyone raved about the food. They have amazing vegan and gluten free options. The drinks are also fantastic. Can’t wait to go again.

I enjoyed my dried out chicken and a “non-cash” up charge for dessert. I felt special when I asked for chips and salsa and told it was no longer free. Whomp whomp. Overpriced and mediocre food. I vote— go literally anywhere else.

Good service, yummy and giant empanadas, but the margs were super weak. Almost $50 for 2 jumbo margs and I didn’t even get a buzz…. and I’m a total light weight!

Great food, but disappointing margaritas, more akin to a glass of orange juice with a splash of tequila.
