Didn't want to take more than 1 DMC card. They finally accepted 2. Cards specify 3 per group or table.

I have been going here, intermittently, for years. Tony is delightful, and I highly recommend the Enchiladas with Carnitas and green (verde) sauce!

The food is pretty good and prices aren’t bad at all. Margaritas are the best over there. Bartender Micky always attends us pretty friendly and welcoming

I arrived at the restaurant very hungry. The first time I ordered a beer, I thought they were going to give me chips as usual, but they didn't give me anything. The girl who served me asked for a carne asada and she told me, your carne asada, Mexican or Ecuadorian style, and I Well, I kind of kept thinking and I said Mexican style when my order arrived it didn't look like anything Mexican style But well I said I'm very hungry when I tried the meat it had a good flavor but it was very dry the truth is my hunger passed And when I wanted pay, get up and leave, the girl didn't show up, but she finally arrived later. The truth is, I was angry. I better went with the Chinese to eat. My question. Is it normal that they don't give you the chips?

I have always loved the food but this time was not great, the wings were rock hard and the sauce on the pasta de mariscos was wrong!

I was in yesterday and I got a bandeja paisa. Little mosquitos was everywhere and it fell on my plate, I showed my server my food with the mosquito and he said he will ask his manager and comes back and tells me he can only give a small discount because “I was almost done with my food” I had 3 bites of my rice and their excuse was it’s summer and mosquitos are everywhere ? it’s not okay I a paid for my food and only had 3 bites.

If you go here, try not to appear like you have money. If they think you’re rich for whatever reason, They’ll get ya. The younger bartenders and servers here love to play stupid for their own convenience. From “accidentally” adding drinks to your tab to pretending to not know their own specials and charge you the regular price. But ironically, their silly mistakes seem to never work out in my favor. I’ve been coming here a long time because I love their margaritas! Best margaritas you can get. But it’s gotten to a point where I literally have to keep track of my number of drinks when I’m there and I have to be very clear that I’m getting their special because it’s this day. Other than that, it’s one of my favorite spots to drink. Great specials on drinks

It’s a okay place to get drinks if anything. They promote certain things but it’s not the actual thing. They charge you for it too.

Sad to have people at the bar pay a cover fee because is dance night. People who arrive there early for dinner and drinks shouldn’t be paying cover. This crazy lady went around the bar telling people to pay the cover if you were staying late or get out by 11pm. Embarrassing for tequila to do this. Bad experience I been there other days and never been asked to pay the cover fee. Poor thing to do when people are eating and drinking at the bar. Food is great and bartenders and servers are very nice and welcoming. Other than this crazy lady asking people to pay the cover when people are eating and drinking at the bar just because of a dance night.

Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly during the day, I seen lot of families with kids during the day. At night it more for grownups since there is alcohol and it gets loud.
