Woman server left our cards with our checks sitting by the computer and walked away for 10 minutes instead of running them immediately, asked a different server to run them and she said she would tell our server to do it so we waited another 10 minutes

Watch the bartenders/waiters! This is one of our Taco Tuesday night places that we frequent. Food is good and a good variety. A little pricey and they charge for every little extra....even if you get fajitas and need another flour shell. Be wary of the bartender/waiters charging you extra for premium tequilla. I did not ask for premium but that's what i was charged for in all of the drinks I got and that added up. To me it's a way to "pad" the bill. That is why I gave service a lower score. Now, I make sure no premium liquor is served.

Food was delicious and service was excellent!! One dish wasn’t perfect, no questions asked they fixed it and did it with a smile!! Definitely will be coming back. All the food around us looked and smelled great too!! When we arrived it was maybe 1/3 full. Didn’t even finish yet and it was packed! Another sign of good food and service.

Good food, even BETTER COCKTAILS! Couldn't believe the fantastic quality/value ratio. We brought two cousins who are not Offline members and had not been to this restaurant before --and now they are going to be regulars (and this will be a mandatory spot any time we visit them).We came for brunch Saturday. They had a relatively large selection for the main menu and also several fantastic brunch specials -- all well-priced. Our server was really friendly and offered good service (I feel so bad I forgot his name. But I do remember he is originally from Mendoza, Argentina!).We tried everything from the empanada appetizer all the way to the main entrees (enchiladas; steak platter), some tacos, and even the DREAMY churros dessert (which are actually MASSIVE, fresh, and stupid-good donuts) with an Argentinian-style dulce de leche dipping sauce (not as sweet as traditional Mexican and, quite honestly, even better/lighter).Everything was delicious, fresh, and PERFECTLY cooked, but not traditionally spicy or authentically bold Mexican.My enchiladas sauce was very light, even though I was expecting a richer, bolder-flavored sauce (and more cheese. I cried with how little cheese sauce they had on top). Don't get me wrong, it was great quality ingredients and very tasty, but not the traditional Mexican dish I'm used to. Would I still come back and order that same dish at this lunch price point, though? Absolutely (and just ask for it spicier and with extra Sinaloa cheese sauce on top!?).Conversely, my husband's steak platter was the BEST food item we ordered at our table (apart from the churro donuts perfection). CRUNCHY fries, perfectly seasoned and grilled steak, yummy sauce and sides. Uff. I want to have that main instead next time for brunch, for sure.Now what was 5 STARS: The drinks menu. WOW. Worthy of an upscale mixologist cocktail lounge in Miami or NYC. Could not believe such a wide selection of top-shelf liquor being so readily available, and at such good price point, at such a laid-back establishment. It was the best top shelf tequila selection I've ever seen at any restaurant stateside, anywhere without going to a pricy steakhouse.I got the PIKA PIKA cocktail - a special spicy kick, yet SMOOOOTH drink thanks to the use of more expensive REPOSADO tequila. Yet, it costs LESS than $12?!?! That same drink would be MINIMUM $25-35 in any other major metro area! I would come back just to have more of these top-shelf cocktails on a night out in lieu of going to another bar.All in all, the main point of improvement and why I knocked one star: to make some of the staple Mexican dishes bolder and spicier (or at least offer it as an option/modification for the customer).Still, I'd come back here all the time if we lived here -- even if just for their outstanding bar tender/mixologist and vast liquor selection. So glad Offline recommended this gem to us -- we may have never gone in on our own.

A 10/10!!! The truth is, the atmosphere, the vibe, the food, the service, everything is GREAT!!! Our waiter Nicholas, super friendly and helpful. It was so delicious to go to a restaurant and not only find typical Mexican food but the flavor as well. The divorced sopes are out of this world, definitely recommended!!!!

Must pay for parking. Both food and drinks were great but it was extremely cold by the time I got it and I prefer very hot food. It had already taken an hour to get it so I wasn't sending it back. They have almost every tequila you can think of on the menu (BUT THEY ARE NOT ALL IN STOCK) so don't expect to be able to have lots of choices. The waiter asked if we wanted complementary chips and salsa but never brought them to the table but charged us and put it on everyone's check divided up. Errors on the check, put my mom's drink on my check. Ran the wrong card for the wrong checks. Took 30 to 40 minutes to get drinks.

Our lunch and service was absolutely delicious! The staff were super nice about us being annoying at the beginning because we weren't sure of our group size.

The food was great, very satisfied with the food, sorbet margaritas were amazing. Service was mediocre, hated it, that’s why I’m giving 3 stars, it just ruined the vibe. I thought the place would be bigger but it’s not, seems very crammed.

The service was a little slow here on a Thursday night, but the food was absolutely excellent and this place had the best Margaritas! Would definitely come here again.
