Don’t come here if you plan on leaving full. One star for the flavorful enchiladas. However, they were so small I was still hungry & had to ask for 2 more baskets of chips to fill me up. Definitely not worth the $20. One star for the strong margaritas. I will only come back if I want to get drunk. The service was amazing though.

The food was ok. There is nothing authentic anymore. It is catered for a demographic that is not Mexican. The portions super small and the prices very, very inflated.

Disappointed that they don't make individualized margaritas. We go a few times a year and couple weeks ago we were disappointed

The food was ok, the ambiance was great and clean, modern. The servers were nice, helpful and the service as far as wait time for the food was prompt being that the food was served fresh. My only two gripes was that my quesadilla was not as hot/fresh as I was expecting, everyone else at my table had the skillet which were sizzling but my food was not. Lastly, I ordered the 26 oz "Fresher" top shelf margarita for $30. It tasted good but that was it. Not strong, no kick, barely a buzz. This margarita is a glorified kiddy drink. Don't get it. Get the cheaper house margarita with the cheap "Cuervo". It might get you a better result. Overall, I'm not over-the-moon about going back.

Me and my husband visited this establishment yesterday for dinner spent almost $50 on two dinners! A steak taco dinner and a steak flauta dinner. Food was cold I had only ordered 10 min prior I placed online order from the front in my car. this was around 4pm why by 930 pm me and my husband has symptoms of food poisoning I'm even vomiting up blood. it's going on 4pm the next day puking still no energy going to emergency for confirmation. I do not recommend anything with steak it was dry and no flavor at all. Definitely won't be back for another try!!!! Not at cost of my health!!!

Had the combination fajita platter for 2 and it was so much better than expected. A little bit pricier than the buck town spot, but for the occasion I didn't mind it. On the night I went they had a photographer taking photos. While I received one complementary, the photographer kept pressuring and looking over trying to push the purchase of another one. I am not big on being interrupted during dinners by anyone other than the service staff, unless I am going someplace intentionally for that. Other than that, pretty good experience.

This place was horrible!!! What Mexican restaurant messes up nachos?!? I've had better at American restaurants. The chips were soggy and I only ate 5 since I was hungry. So mad I wasted my money. I ordered daiquiri and that was horrible too. I did send that back and just stuck with an overpriced beer. I'll never go back.

I’ll be back when the snow hits for the chicken tortilla soup! So delicious ? Mezcal margaritas.
