Came here recently, food and service was very good but temperature was very cold, especially in the hallway by the bathrooms and there was a strong odor near the bathrooms

First time here was on Saturday night. First impression was our hostess she was lovely so kind and very energetic! The decor and environment was very modern. Also our waitress was so attentive and was so personable. Loved her I wish I got her name definitely recommend (she was also a bartender)! Drinks were delicious she can make a killer drink!!! 😋 The one thing that kinda doesn't meet my standards or the same level of wow was the food... the best thing I had was the party nachos! It was delicious with the steak! The other food we had that was good was the shrimp tacos! Then we come to our main courses. The birrirra tacos were salty and burnt tasting. The dipping juice was bland. To day none of what we ordered was authentic at all. It was all very tex-Mex. The chicken enchiladas had what I believed to be canned chicken. I know the difference i believed very much its canned.... but I could be wrong. They had a bad flavor as well almost metallic. We also had the esquites and chips. They were a little off they came with a strange chilli powder that tasted off but it was alright. Then the rice was all 100% pre-made/ minute rice. I mean besides that the waitress saved the night with her wonderful service! We ended up returning the enchiladas to the kitchen and I had shared my birrirra tacos with everyone at the table and we all absolutely loved the nachos!

Excellent food, the Pork belly Tacos are amazing. A much better experience than the place next door, Tom’s Watch Bar. Go on Taco Tuesday!

For a salad and the price, my portion size was extremely small. $23 salad should be a full to go container. After calling the manager Keno he agreed to give me a replacement salad, but unfortunately after I tried the salad, I was NOT IMPRESSED. It was nasty. I would not recommend the Shrimp cantina salad.

Was here for work. Really liked this spot. Service was fast and easy (though it was a cold night and it was pretty quiet). Enjoyed the nachos and tacos and their drink selection was good (liked the margaritas). It's in a touristy part of town but that doesn't mean the food is bad. Would go back for sure.

I saw this venue on Monday, 10 November, and decided to stop by for lunch on Tuesday, 11 November. They could use a little more assistance at the main door as it took nearly 10 minutes for a recommendation that I sit at the bar after entering the venue. That caveat aside, the food was great and the staff were kind. A nice, well-balanced, filling, and warm meal on a cold day!

I had a great meal. I have the Birria tacos. We ordered the chips with the flight of salsas. All of the meals we ordered were fantastic and the server was attentive.
