We LOVE their Monday night specials! Half price appetizers at the bar and $2 off house margaritas! Great quality food, Sara, and Sam are great bartenders!
Dietary restrictions: They were more than happy to accommodate my wife's dairy allergy and make her a plate without dairy!
Great atmosphere, really fun and funky decor. Kind staff. They were super busy on a Monday night which just goes to show how good the food is. Delicious house salsa! Thin and crispy chips. Steak tacos are amazing! We loved the fried ice cream. I love it here

We unfortunately had an unpleasant experience here. We made reservations for a table of 7. When we got there, the table wasn't ready at the time we requested (we waited an extra 15 min, but no big deal) we were then seated at a table of 6 and we felt very crammed since we had 2 infants with us also. After asking for a bigger table the manager, Melanie basically came over and explained how there's nothing she can do and it's our problem that we didn't order a table for 9 people (because of the 2 babies). I then told her that we werent aware that was needed since some places require that and some places don't, and it wasn't noted on the website to count infants under 1 years old, and still we are 7 people on a 6 place table. To make a long story short I basically took responsibility for only making a 7 person's reservations and just asked if she'd be willing to keep an eye open for a table for us, but she wasn't willing to do so and said we can sit outside and wait 40 minutes for a bigger table outside. She was very unpleasant and passive aggressive to say the least. And besides that, the waitress practically threw one of the plates in front of us on the table . The place was very loud and busy and there was a harsh smell of fried oil. I hope the place sees this as constructive criticism and that even if the place was super busy, the manager could still be polite and hey! Maybe even nice (!) next time to other people. It's not our fault the place was packed or that she was maybe having a bad day. Good luck!
Best Mexican food in the area. Be prepared to wait as they're almost always crowded. I believe they now take reservations too. Excellent food, drinks and atmosphere. A bit on the pricey side but worth it

This place is freaking phenomenal. The food, the service, the atmosphere. Simply amazing! I highly recommend the chicken nachos or chicken tortilla soup. The nachos have GRILLED chicken (not shredded), FRESH avocado (much better than guacamole), and MELTED cheese (shredded doesn’t compare). The chicken tortilla soup pairs perfectly with a cold winter night. If you love tequila, there are loads of options! If you’re like me and you don’t like tequila, Havana Nights is an amazing drink! Sarai the bartender and Samantha the server are the sweetest people! My only “complaint” would be not enough parking. Love this place!

This place is awesome! If you don’t call ahead you’re probably going to wait. We were lucky and got 3 seats at the bar and they accommodated for a picky 7 year old by making her a “cheeseburger quesadilla” aka just put ground beef on it. She gave it a 10/10. Still not exactly sure what this was that I are, but I’d eat it again. ? Next time we have hopes of sitting by the queso ?
Parking: There’s limited parking considering the number of people eating and waiting, but there’s a large shopping center across the street with plenty
Kid-friendliness: They don’t have traditional fries and no cheeseburger on the menu, but yuca fries and ground beef quesadilla was a great substitute
