I’m usually a regular customer and love me some Mexican food but this place has been turnt upside down, and is not that good as I thought it would be anymore. It’s got good food and good drinks. But the service has been kinda on the bad side lately and from what I’ve witnessed through out the past months things need to change! Also not allowing your employees to be drinking on the job, which I know who been doing it; especially who I had just last night! So it’s ok for them to be getting intoxicated with alcohol while ignoring other customers not knowing how they feel; led alone not acknowledging others just cause it’s slow... So it’s ok for nobody to care and steal alcohol from a job while being allowed to drink anytime they want while serving others intoxicated! This isn’t cool led along fair to others. Enough is enough; I like this place but something should change and if nobody listens to the customers then I feel weird even trying to come here anymore with the way they run things. They lucky I like the I mainly the food cause I wouldn’t give this location my time and money anymore. This place should watch the employees more and be on top of things before things get worse due to their actions.

Tuesday night, very quiet. We are seated in a section with 2 servers working 5 other tables besides us(Easy night). It took almost 10 minutes before we were first acknowledged by our server. I ordered a Old Fashioned, my girlfriend a Blue Moon Draft. We also ordered our food at this time. 5 minutes the waitress comes back to let me know they do not have the ingredients for an Old Fashioned(Bitters and Sugar). I am surprised by this but instead order a Coke. Another 5 minutes goes by I receive my coke and the waitress tells my girlfriend she is still waiting on the Blue Moon (10 minutes for a draft beer?!). We waited 5 more minutes before getting fed up and left. (I left 5.00 for my soda) If it took 25 minutes to not even get a beer, I can only imagine how disorganized the rest of the restaurant is. Do not recommend going here unless you like waiting...and waiting...

2nd time coming to this place. First time was great which is why we returned. This last time we waited 10 minutes for a booth, which we were absolutely fine with. Our waiter Yael on the other hand was not the best. I get places get busy but he couldn’t handle the 3-4 tables he had and kept accepting more as they walked in. We got guac and chips and waited 20 mins with just guac and no chips. He wanted to take our dinner order THREE times and we kept repeating that we already gave it to him. He was completely flustered and did not know which direction was up at this point. I’m sure he meant well, but when you have a packed restaurant you need faster waiters. From the look at the previous reviews we should have just chose another establishment.

I just paid $40 for a below average steak fajita.. (That was as chewy as gum) Iand a cold shrimp skewer(3 shrimp) and a club soda.Who charges for club soda?The service was okay although the kitchen kept sending the wrong things and forgetting things... I probably won't go there again.

Not sure why they are getting such bad reviews. Sabrina was our waitress and she was the best. Music too loud for us but other than that everything was great. Oh and reasonable prices!

It was empty when we went at around 4pm on a weekday. They gave chips& salsa for free. We ordered border sampler, birria tacos, texas grilled burrito, brownie sundae, and strawberry chimis. Our total came out to $71. Our server was great. Birria tacos was 6/10, consome was watered down and tacos was not drenched in the consome before pan frying the tortillas. Quesadilla on the border sampler; tortilla was nice & crispy. Free chips were huge and crunchy; not stale at all and salsa was a bit spicy. Texas grilled burrito was oily. Overall, we only like the free chips& salsa, mexican rice included in our entree, and the strawberry chimis.
