I would have love to give this restaurant more stars but the service was subpar. My waitress forgot everything I mean everything. I ask for pico de gallo for my chips at the very beginning she didn't bring it until all of our food was eaten. She forgot the sugar around my margarita. She added a taco I didn't ask for. She forgot she took our order and came and ask us for our order again. She forgot to give me back my credit card. Worst part she never apologized I understand...
