The coconut margaritas are delicious!!! We were greeted and sat right away however our server didn’t come over for 12-15 mins. She was very nice so we tried to give the benefit of doubt assuming she may be new or having an off day but the entire experience seemed incredibly slow and it took a while between courses for her to come back.Great margarita selections with fun infused tequila’s. My friend got the Watermelon Habanero Margarita and loved it. We tried the margarita flight which was also great. The blood orange margarita was a close second favorite although be ready for the kick it holds from the spicy tequila.Out of all the food we ate, the appetizers were our favorite. The street corn off the Cobb was absolutely out of this world! Very small portion but so decadent and will leave you wanting more.

Service was subpar...I had to actually walk up to the bar to get my drinks because I saw them sitting there. The restaurant wasn't busy either. And one of our meals were wrong but they fixed it. Definitely would not go back?

All in all, good food and experience. Think we caught it at a slow time or shift change, so service was a little inattentive, but the food did come out very fast and hot. Margarita flight was enjoyable and a good way to try a few of their drinks before committing to a full Margarita if you're unsure what you may like. If you want to watch any of the games, there are TVs everywhere.

Cauliflower tacos are delicious but bit pricey or adding another extra taco would justify the price! Enchiladas were delicious, I am usually not a big fan but liked the taste here.

The food here is decent I was expecting a better guac and chips that should be the basis to judge a Mexican restaurant..the margaritas over here are good… the pitcher concept for Margarita with flights is similar to beer but for margaritas…it has a lot of space and not much crowded also one main this is there is network issues near this restaurant!!!

Food was very bad especially the meat. Would not come back or recommend.It tasted like the carne asada has been dragged through the kitchen sink.

Tried to book a private event with this establishment, tried sending out an email, went there in person and manager was not there and I was told I would get a call back, many attempts to reach over the phone and no answer (2 weeks). Just want to express my experience. This place seems to be fond of walk-in but not your best option to plan to something out.
I’m so sorry but I have to share this in hope that these places do better with authentic Mexican food. I went here for the first time and had one of the most basic, bland tacos in my life. I grew in Central America, Mexico and lived in NYC.I know what a GOOD TACO is. The tacos here was NOT IT. The carnitas was not seasoned well, it was dry and they just threw mangoes on it. I was shook.

Went on a Sunday. Food was ok. Used to be better. Drinks weren't good. Used to way better. Should of known that it wasn't gonna be a great dinner since there wasn't really that many people in there.

So went today. The food was ok and Nick (our server) wanted to take my napkin away half way through my meal to clean the table. I paid the bill but didn’t review it till I got home. They put in sneaky charges like Kitchen appreciation tip, liquor tip and the food tip is last based on the final amount. On top of that, I gave Nick a 20% tip but in actuality in should’ve been 15 due to the erroneous charges. Also, they gave us the Chips and salsa I ordered and charged 6.95 for a small bowl of extremely hard unappetizing chips.I would NOT ever return to this place. Very disappointed!
Been here twice each time I've come the service is amazing the floor staff are always smiling.The food tastes great and the serving sizes are well worth the money.The drinks are good too.The restaurant is very clean and spacious.
