Rude staff - poor parking options. Parking is a huge issue. We had a reservation here for my wife’s birthday and spent 15 minutes trying to parking when I decided to drop her off only for the staff to tell her that because we were 15 minutes late we had to wait 45min for a table.. a majority of the parking on the street near by are tow zones and have no parking signs and local streets are permit parking only. The staff was rude and ruined my wife’s birthday outing. If you have a reservation here make sure you uber or allow 20-30 min to find parking . Also be prepared for the people upfront to not be hospitable and leave you feeling that they could care less to have your business.

Had a dozen prepared oysters along with a steak torta with all the fixings. Both were delicious. Service was great.

I had a bad experience with their catering. They do a bait an switch on you. They tell you is one price then change it. Their catering menu is not clear

Great and festive experience. Holiday decor that brightens the ambiance. Irresistible (warm) chips and salsa! Large and tasty portions of churrasco and fajita. The mezcal mule (no agave) was perfectly balanced. The beans were the unexpected star…devoured them! Friendly and timely service made for a solid lunch.

Kid-friendliness: Our daughter loved the food and inviting atmosphere. Stay away from the salsa if spice is unwelcomed.

Came out here for Friendsgiving and the food was absolutely delicious. We ordered the carne asada tradicional and the patron real, also the cochinita pibil. We also had the cucumber margarita and they hit! Definitely coming back again!

Food was delicious, went in for a birthday celebration this past Saturday 16th and our server Geovanni R was the best, we had a big party and he was so patient and on point with everything ! He made our experience at this restaurant very pleasant, we had a reservation and still had to wait but other than that everything was great !

Amazing place to celebrate birthdays. The decorations were nice specially the Frida painting on stage. They have an amazing live singer. They do shows when they bring out the airplane or bull shot order. The food was very good and the service was fast! The one thing they could improve on is the lighting. It was very bright so it didn’t feel intimate or a nice ambiance.

We went here on a Sunday night and it was pretty packed. The atmosphere is good for celebrations as they had really loud music playing. I would say try switching up the music don’t just play one artist. The day we went they were only playing Jenni Rivera songs over and over, but I feel they should have played more different music instead of just one artist. The food wasn’t good at all. The beans were burnt and didn’t taste good at all. I got the enchiladas and I never had ones that didn’t have the cheese fully melted. Our waiter that we had wasn’t too friendly. I showed her a picture of a drink I wanted and she told me it was “ seasonal” when the picture was on their social media from about a week ago. Then she says you know what I think we do have it, but just to let you know it doesn’t come with the big glass it will be in a smaller glass. Like what ? To me that’s just false advertisement. She told me it depended on the bar and the glasses they want to give out . I never heard that before. It just didn't make sense , so I just ended up getting a pina colada, which was super super small, but it was good. The whole night we felt like we were rushed as they closed at 9pm. At the end of the night we ordered the bull shot performance that came with 7 tequila shots and it was $105, which I don’t understand why small half shots are $15. It was a nice touch though if you’re celebrating a birthday. We definitely won’t be back and I wouldn’t recommend.
