The food is delicious and the service is fantastic. Very friendly and attentive staff. There is karaoke every night, which would be fine if it weren't so loud. We were there on a Sunday, very small crowd, and you would have thought you were in a nightclub. Totally unnecessary volume that made us rush to leave.
Beware of the Botella Magica. It's an absolutely delicious drink, but it's huge and will knock you on your butt. My suggestion is, let someone else drive if you have one.

Drinks and food where meh, adding gratuity to a small 1-2 person bill is a pretty crappy move and not saying anything about it is even crappier. Wont be back

Loved the service and the guac was delicious!!!
I was disappointed with my recent visit. The steak fajitas were a little over-seasoned, the rice was good, but the beans were bland. Please note that drink prices are not listed on the menu. When the bill arrived, we were shocked to see margaritas priced at $25 each, which felt misleading. On top of that, they added automatic gratuity for a party of just two people.
Overall, I would not recommend this place.

Employees were nice courtesy. A drink was spilled. it handled nicely. But the bill's gratuity was not mentioned and was very high. that's not a problem but customer's need to be aware that they their tip included in the bill. Beware and check your bill, to prevent from tipping twice!!

The food took over an hour & all i ordered was tacos.
Its saturday afternoon and the bartenders excuse was that there's only one person in the kitchen cooking.
The food was mediocre at best.
I will never ever come back here.

I am seeing past reviews from customers with the same experience as mine, most of which are the same race as me (black). I would hope this is not a race issue, but it could seem like it. I would like to say, as a server myself who has worked in MANY different establishments, this has been the absolute worst experience I have ever dealt with. The drinks were okay, which is the only thing I can vouch for. My friend and I stopped by to enjoy some dinner, and we got Salmon & Camarones Barrachos. They were bland, vegetables were soggy, and the camarones looked interesting to say the least. We asked the manager if he could take it off the bill for us and if we would be able to choose something else instead, and we were met with the most distasteful attitude from the manager. He refused to give us his name, as when my friend asked for it, he had the nerve to say āIāll deal with you in a second.ā Are you kidding me? He asked us many questions to specify what we didnāt like, and told me that I āneeded to have special tastebuds for the salmonā. I eat salmon EVERYWHERE and cook it all of the time, so I would hope I have the tastebuds for salmon! He was rude, asked us what we wanted him to do, and told us we can box it up, but he wonāt accommodate us. I could not believe it! He went back and forth with us and had the worst attitude while also glaring at us the entire time. To make it worse, there was also a fly that landed on my food as well! (Picture attached). I can understand slight frustration, but at the end of the day, even I know that the customer is always right. They could have even offered a different entree for us, but did not. Insane! I usually donāt leave reviews but this was horrible. I did get the managerās first name from the bartender. His name is Pedro. No hate to the bartenders, they seemed to be apologetic for their managers actions. Definitely a management issue.

SERVICE POOR. MANAGEMENT POOR. AND ESTABLISHMENT RACIST!
My friend and I stopped by here to try out a new restaurant in the area. When we let the bar tender know that we were not satisfied with food and if we could get another dish. She spoke with her manager and he shortly came over and said that there was absolutely nothing he could do. We asked if we could get something else and instead kept asking us if thatās we what we ordered and nothing else. When she handed us the bill, it was almost $100. We had asked to speak to the manager again, and asked if thereās anything possible he could do. The managers name, who i was told, is Pedro. Pedro kept ignoring our questions and was very rude and dismissive when we expressed our concerns. He offered absolutely no help to us and was instead very very rude, stating that āthatās what we orderedā and āyou do know that itās made differently everywhere, right?ā and because we couldnāt explicitly explain why we didnāt like it he wasnāt going to remove it. PLEASE DO NOT eat here!!! Management is very unprofessional. Would give 0 stars if possible.
EDIT: Forgot to add that he refused to tell us his name, was dismissed me when i asked him. And we still forced to pay the bill. Upon looking at other reviews, itās prevalent that this is a common experience amongst other black customersā¦interesting.
