The food was okay, the drinks were amazing. Not much variety on the menu or what you would expect for a mexican spot. I got the carnitas tacos, but my friend got the milanesa torta and that was pretty tasty. The service was amazing.

Huge 5 stars for the employee on the phone at the Que Onda Uptown location (forgot to ask his name!). I accidentally ordered via giftcard to the Uptown location rather than the Highland Creek location, and he called the HC manager and somehow got the order and gift card payment transferred to the spot!! Excellent customer service, above and beyond!

The food was absolutely delicious! The service was good not great but it was also like a massive lunch rush so I completely understand! I would 100% recommend this place. And I will be back.
