This is the place to be on a Taco Tuesday. Happy hour $2 tacos and buy one get one well margaritas, you can’t beat it . They have an outdoor patio, a nice bar and a nice dining room setting. I dig it

My husband and I shared the Carne Asada dinner with beans and added rice from the "extras" menu. The complimentary chips and salsa were good. When the server brought out our dinner, we were expecting a plate full. Instead, it was a smaller portion of steak, refried beans, and salad. There was no seasoning on any of the food. The rice was ok, but again, there was no seasoning, no flavor. The server and music were great!

Came at 1:10pm, sign says open and hours are 11:30a - 8p on Sundays. I called to see if they were open the guy says “um no, give us a half hour”. I called the highland one and they were open.

Was a hidden gem. We were looking for a place close to home for good food, drinks, and good music. DJ Friday night was on point, chill atmosphere and great cocktails. Will definitely be back.

There were 12 of us and we went in on a Wednesday. Our waitress, Shay (Shae, not sure of spelling) was so sweet. She was the only waitress. She never got frustrated. She always had a smile. Food took awhile to come out, I believe there was only one cook. She constantly checked in on us.
They ran out of a couple things and you can tell she was sincerely sorry. She was just all around a great waitress.
Food - the appetizers were really good. We got the carne Asada fires, riviera chicken nachos and queso dip. Main dishes were good too, sides were ok. 8/10 would def go again. I liked the ambiance and loved the waitress!

0/10. HORRIBLE service. Went with a group of 11. No refills on waters, drinks took anywhere from 20-45 min to come out. Food was wrong, one in the party never even received her food so she had to end up canceling her order. Ran out of glasses for the drinks. No silverware. No fountain pop, no mango syrup. No pineapples in my pineapple tacos, nasty tasting rice, no manager, 2 waitresses running the whole show on a Friday nite. I’m sure there’s more. I wouldn’t return if someone paid me. Worst service and restaurant I’ve ever been to in my life. Go elsewhere!!!!

We love coming to eat here. The food is always good … the rice and beans are bland but as for the rest we really enjoy our meals. I really like the fajitas . Something I look forward to is the Margarita flight while my husband enjoys the Mezcal Margaritas . The music played is something I really enjoy. I do a little dance and wiggle in my seat . It’s always a good time.

I’m not really one to complain for the most part, I took my little sister here for lunch before she moves states. The music was a bit loud and we had to talk louder just to hear each other, the place is small and the music made it a bit difficult to enjoy the little bit of time I had with my little sister. We were seated after a couple minutes of waiting which is no big deal. The gentleman that gave us our table said our waitress was gonna be with us in a few minutes. We waited about 15 minutes just to order our drinks. There was only 2 other tables with customers. The waitress made eye contact with me multiple times as she helped the other tables and never came to us. We waited so long the host ended up coming to ask for our drinks and then from there decided to just be our waiter since she wasn’t coming to our table. The food is mediocre and a bit higher priced, I could’ve went to taco Tia or el amigo and gotten better food with better quality. Personally I wouldn’t recommend this place. Not worth the money.

I cannot give a full review because my party waited 15 minutes before we were seated. For an additional 20 minutes after being seated with no water just the menu, and as we sat other people were seated, waited on and at least water set and utensils. We were basically seated and left forgotten. Just bad business our party will not recommend this place.
