We had a group of 8. Food was good and the ladies who drank cocktails said they were not shy on alcohol. The server was nice, but she didn't check back with us very often. She was busy though.

1st visit. I’m surprised regarding the comments about poor service. We had good service, no empty drinks, chips and salsa refilled and the food came out fairly quickly. My husband had the carme asada and said it was very good. I had the vegetable fajitas with pineapple. They had no issue with my modifications and the fajitas were delicious. Chips and salsa were very good as well. I would recommend.

Good took forever, and wasn't all that hot when it came out. Nothing really stood out flavor wise. Prices seemed high for what we got. Other chains are comparable in taste but cheaper.
