Place is way too crowded
Had a pick up order. Queso is liquid. The beans look like pork and beans. I called to find out where it was because gps took me to an alley. Before I could say thank you, I was hung up on. Figured he was busy but when I walked in there was barely anyone there.

Our meal was very disappointing. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. The meat was very dry on both the street tacos and nachos. The nachos were soggy with very little toppings.

Portion sizes were good. Food was fairly bland. FYI Chips and salsa is a menu item, not on the house.

Great location, at the heart of the old district. Food options are limited. Texmex cuisine. Vast options of drinks and beers. I would finally say, it is a cool bar with some food options.

My sister went with some coworkers here and while standing in line waiting to use the bathroom, she asked if someone that was preoccupying the stall could please stop talking and be considerate of the fact that people were waiting to use it(they had been in there a while and were just talking and No she wasn’t rude about it). This person along with a friend didn’t like being asked that so they busted the door in on my sister while she was in there and physically attacked her breaking her arm and giving her a concussion. The restaurant proceeded to protect the 2 people that did that. I would like to know what is being done about my sister being attacked last night in your establishment. Because she feels like she’s getting the run around as if the people responsible is of importance to somebody there or to someone in law enforcement. Regardless, if that is the case, the people responsible NEED to and WILL face the consequences of their disgusting actions. And we won’t stop pursuing this until they are in jail.
Friday, November 10th, 2023 I decided to take my sister here to have some fun in celebration of her birthday the day before. We only paid $5 entrance and I spent around $80 in drinks by 12:30. The place was unusually empty. I have visited the place so many times and it is always full!! They decided to close early and no one notified us before they started kicking people out. As customers that paid for entrance and spent money on drinks I requested to use the restroom one last time before leaving since my Uber would take 30 minutes to arrive. The 2 body guard said “no” (by the way after asking several times they said their names were Mach and Luis) I really don’t know if these are their real names; I have the feeling they lied to me. I was requesting to please let me speak to the person in charge or the manager so I could handle my situation in a proper way with the correct person. They kept telling me that they didn’t know who the person in charge was as they kept pushing us out. A 3rd guard came walked into the conversation and I asked him if he worked there to what he responded “no”. The other 2 guards let him take control over the situation while they slowly stepped away! As I was trying to explain to this 3rd guard that I was only requesting to let me use the restroom because I wasn’t gonna be able to wait 30 minutes before my Uber got there, he kept interrupting me and talk down to me as if anything I said was just not of importance after I had a couple drinks. He said that I could use the other restroom and pointed at a door (This was a public restroom in the area; I tried by the way to use it but it was also locked) They didn’t care they were just trying to say anything so I could turn around and if I came back they would act like I was giving them probln By the way it’s incredible how good they treat you when you walk in and poorly on your way out. They just assume that any customer will cause issues on the way out. The lack of training and common sense they have when it comes to handle different situations is what surprises me!! I never got the managers name. I don’t know if he was hiding inside but I sure hope the owner (I got told by a friend that his name is Juan; again I don’t know if this true) checks the cameras and analyzes the situation; sees that at any moment I did not disrespected his staff or raised my voice, or called anyone names. I was simply asking for the person in charge to request using the restroom before leaving. It was not my fault they had to close early because business was slow, and I do think they could do better when it comes to treating people that choose to spend their money at this bar. I’ve been a manager for 8 years and I understand the pros and cons but I surely know that having work ethnics are very important! By the way the guy that wasn’t letting me explain the situation to him told me that the security company’s name was Noble. I don’t wish anyone to loose their jobs but I sure hope they take accountability for what happened on Friday night because customers don’t deserved to be treated that way specially if they are behaving!! The guard even told me that if I don’t like how they were handling the situation I could simply not come back. I think I will take his advice if I as a customer mean so little for this business and will go to my second favorite place L street Longe (I will make this place my new favorite place to spend my money with friends and family) I highly recommend it; i should have taken my sister there to celebrate instead of ruining my and her night at the época on Friday. I am not posting my review because I want special treatment or anything free. I just hope they fix the way they treat their customers and train their staff better! I have money to spend and I expect good and fair service anywhere I go as long as I am also a good customer. I hope I can hear from the person in charge to know who these guards work for and their names (again I don’t want anyone to lose their jobs; just to take accountability for handling the situation so wrongfully).
The drag show is the only good thing about this experience.I had "chilaquiles" and it was as plain, dry, flavorless as I expected them to be. The drinks were also awful. No flavor in the "hibiscus" margarita; tasted more of bitter water w some vodka.I was not told I had to pay up up front, that the waitress was not coming back again w the bill. Unless a sign was posted somewhere and I missed it, as a first timer, I had no idea.Averall, I wouldn't come back. I do not recommend the place.
Parking: It's downtown so good luck finding a good and close spot.

Carnitas we’re bone dry. The ration of beans and rice along with the tacos did not seem worth the price.

I was with a group of 20 for a Bachelorette party. The ladies made a reservation a month ago and the manager was so condescending when we asked if we could place our order. We waited 45 minutes before someone even came over. Horrible experience and super unprofessional. Will never go here

If I could give this place a 0 I would. We made reservations a month ago for a bachelorette party and confirmed the reservations yesterday. We were seated by the bar tender and some girl with long dark hair when we got there. The girl asked if everyone was here and we said no there are a few stragglers. She left our table and never returned and completely ignored our table for about 45 minutes. We flagged who I assume was the manager down and he argued with us stating we sat ourselves and he would have never sat a “20 top” instead of trying to find a resolution he continued to smirk mock and speak to us very rudely. I would never recommend this location or the staff that works at this place.

I wish there was a zero star option. Last night we went to this location WITH A 3X CONFIRMED RESERVATION for 20 people. When we arrived we were sent to a preset table with waters and menus.... so far so good. After 20 minutes a waitress comes and doesnt introduce herself just says "are you all here?" We told her 2 we're parking and she walked off saying nothing. We tried to flag her down and the owner as well and we're ignored. Once we finally got the owner to come over, it had been about 50 mins. When we asked to be served and to have our orders taken (mind you l, we weren't even given drinks other than the preset waters after 50 minutes) he YELLED at us for sitting ourselves which we didn't. We were sat there by staff. He yelled at us and said he never would have taken a 20 person reservation and then yelled at us and told us he didn't wait on us because he had other people to wait on. After the entire party left besides me (trying to resolve the problem) he told me to get everyone back in and he would see if he could get to us ?I've waited tables, I know how this works. I was going to actually take the orders of our party to help our server because they were short staffed obviously.... but I have NEVER been treated like that or spoken to so condescendingly in my entire life and you should avoid this place at all cost! Especially if you have a party
