Had the loaded nachos with chicken and it was so delicious. The horchata was amazing too! Food and service was great. There was a live band there, sounded nice but was a bit louder than expected it to be. Basically couldn't hear a thing when our table was trying to talk. Was having to shout my order at the server and felt bad but I think she understood ? I didn't know they had a DJ on Saturday nights either but overall good vibes at this place!

First time here, food was good our waitress Jocelyn was the sweetest.We stayed for the DJ which was DJ Jorio, he only catered to the older crowd, we asked him to play certain genres that catered to a younger crowd.He was so bothered that we were asking to play songs from our generation that he came up to our group telling us to show and name specific songs, when we told him a certain genre he continued to bagger us for specific songs and artists. Kept going up to my friends and saying we were killing the crowd with our music choices.We basically got bullied out of there by a DJ who doesn’t know how to read a crowd. We complained to management and let them know we didn’t feel welcomed.I guess we didn’t realize we had to guide the DJ on how to do his job. I mean maybe he should try to get some gigs for a nursing home or Bingo halls since that seems more his vibe.Aside from the staff and food we made the best of our night. But honestly the DJ SUUUUUCKED!!!

Food was amazing, our server Jocelyn was incredibly amazing, but the DJ Jorio was awful! I think he got offended when we requested a little bit of younger music, and said “you’re killing my dance floor” instead of just saying “no I don’t take request” just made us feel awful and unwelcomed. Super awkward, but everything about the restaurant itself was lovely!

Food was okay but really needed a little more flavor. Drinks were not good. We ordered vodka cranberry drinks to start and the drinks tasted like juice, no vodka. Service was fine. The reason we chose to come here was for the entertainment. We really enjoyed hearing Mandolyn and the Hunters Trio.

We had our Moms 60th/brothers birthday dinner party here and the service was great, the food was great and everyone enjoyed themselves. From the booking to the end of our night was smooth and everything was explained very well the night went smooth and our mom and brother had a great time. Will definitely book here again!

The food was not worth the visit for me. The chicken, beef, & pork were all tough & not very flavorful. The rice was dry & the beans were ok. The empanadas were slightly overcooked. The chips & salsa were good!

When I first got my food I thought it was a little pricey for the portions I received. When I tried the meat it was juicy, Soft and there was no fat in it. I might go back again.

Service is friendly and very attentive.Can take a little time to get items ordered if they are busy mainly because of short staff like most other places these days.Good food and some nice selections outside the usual norm for Mexican restaurants.Give it a try, you might like it just like I do!
