Service was great, but prices have drastically increased… liquor tax? Titos $10? ?‍? chile rellenos tasted not so great and the sauce clearly from a can, the steak tho was the best thing… unfortunately I raved about this place and came here after 2 years and disappointed. Its not the employees fault whatsoever, but this is not it anymore.

Had a great experience here last night. Showed up 40 minutes before close. The staff allowed my friends’s dog inside even though they don’t typically allow dogs. The complimentary salsa was phenomenal and my entree was sooo good. The entrees are a bit pricey but worth it for the quality of the food and the atmosphere.

I’ve been here many, many times with friends or a solo meal outside with my dog. I love the food here, and the service is always fantastic. I recently discovered how amazing their brunch menu is. Don’t sleep ok their mezcal margaritas! I highly recommend their breakfast skillets and fajitas!

Great neighborhood bar/restaurant with pretty good food and great drinks. Sometimes they have live music, which is nice. But the last time I went there they just had Unwritten by Natasha Bedingfield playing on a loop—like at least 4 or 5 times in a row, maybe more, idk I left before it ended. Hilarious.

We used to order delivery from here at least once a week during the pandemic. I’m not sure what has happened but we’re really disappointed by everything going downhill. The food is fine but not really worth what you are paying, but we try to support local restaurants when we can. What really upset us and was the last straw was a number of lies we were told when there was a problem with our order. It’s not the first time that a part of the order was forgotten, so we were frustrated but not unreasonable when we called to say that the two margaritas were forgotten. The woman who answered the phone did not apologize, and asked if we could come pick them up. We said no and asked either for someone to deliver them or for a refund, and she said they could not do either because the order was through Grubhub. (To be clear, you cannot order directly from the restaurant and MUST use Grubhub or UberEats.) We were upset and asked to speak to a manager, and she said no because the manager was not available, but she took down our name and said “next time” we’d get the margaritas for free. We were pretty upset about how rude she was and how unwilling to correct the restaurant’s mistake or even apologize, and then we opened the rest of the order to discover there were no chips to go with the $12 guacamole appetizer. We called back and someone else answered the phone, and suddenly the manager was available to speak to us. He finally apologized and said he’d send the missing items over and “pay for the driver himself.” Twenty minutes later and the SAME delivery guy dropped off our missing items. So they were caught in two lies, one about the manager being unavailable and the other about not having their own drivers. Very disappointed and will not be giving them any future business again. There are tons of great restaurants who care more about your business. When you drop $100 per meal, you at least should get what you pay for without having to argue with the employees.
