Mini chimis are absolutely delish. Got chicken for wraps; chicken was tender and flavorful. Service is good.

we really struggled with bad service, even though the restaurant was almost empty for a Friday afternoon. the food was mediocre and I don’t think we will be coming back anytime soon.

We walked in on the Sunday before Christmas. Only 1 other party was in the restaurant. They sat us a dirty table. When I informed the waitress she didn't clean the table she moved us to another dirty table. This was 1st and last time at this restaurant ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE SERVICE. We walked out before we even ordered

We have always loved this place... but we went last week and it was a bit of a train wreck. Noone created us... the bartender saw us and ran over to seat us... and informed us that she would also be our waitress. She was awsome and worked her tail off. They were clearly short staffed. They were also out of the tequila they use in all their margaritas. And the music was blaring loud. The bartender/waitress happily turned it down when we mentioned it. This was NOT issue with staff... but management needs to step up and manage much better if they want to retain customers.We have always loved this place... but we went last week and it was a bit of a train wreck.

It's not your typical Mexican restaurant, it is modern casual. The menu is only two pages.

Food was really good. HOWEVER, they will hand you a happy hour menu during happy hour times only to say “Oopsies we don’t do HH on the weekends like the other locations once the check comes out.” Maybe consider not handing out a HH menu when it is not HH. It will avoid confusion from your patrons and awkward convos for the waitress. Will not return back to this location, which is unfortunate as the seafood quesadillas were so good.

We had a great visit with Ryan as our server. He was attentive, got our orders correct and was also friendly. Definitely one of the best experiences we’ve had here.

This was the worst service I have ever had at a restaurant. Period. Our waiter was as high as a freakin kite and couldn’t get anything right-and he even all but admitted it to us! OMG. We had to continually track servers down to get anything, including just water after we had been seated for 15 minutes! We should have left right away. We ordered queso and it was dropped at our table but we never received chips & salsa so had no chips to eat the queso! We had to ask bartender to get us some chips. Our server had to come to our table 3 times to get our order (which was only 2 orders of tacos) because he was too high to get it right?! It took 15-20 mins to get a margarita because our server forgot to put in the order-he even told us that! We should have asked for a manager but to track anyone down but the bartender there was nearly impossible. We had to go to the bar to pay our tab because we couldn’t find our server again. But, we found him on the way out…he was just sitting in a booth on his phone with 2 other servers- just hanging out not working for tips! We were there for 2.5 hours for some tacos and margaritas. Not at all worth it!!!

Great brunch! We enjoy the carnitas hash and bloody Mary/Maria! Service can sometimes be spotty (with delays of 15 min checking on drink/chip refills after meal comes) but overall we like the staff and have been coming here for many years.
