Love, love, love, the street corn flat bread! Need it in my life 🌽🌮🫔🌯
Sad really. Long line getting served and the food was not hot. Service was mediocre at best. No checking in with the table to explain the wait or ask did we want anything else. Disappointing for sure
We had a reservation tonight at 6:30 PM to celebrate my brother-in-law’s birthday. Our group included 11 adults, 3 children, and a baby. While the restaurant was somewhat busy when we arrived, it certainly wasn’t full. Despite that, we waited an hour just to place our orders. Once we finally ordered, it took another hour and 15 minutes for the food to arrive—much of it was cold, and some dishes appeared to have been reheated. After the plates were cleared, we were given the bills and debit machine, but no one followed up to offer additional service—or even to bring the 3 kids' desserts, which we had already been charged for. Needless to say, the desserts never came. If you’re considering booking a table here for a family gathering or a night out with friends, I’d recommend thinking twice. Between the 2.5-hour wait for dinner, the underwhelming food quality, and being charged for items we never received, the experience was extremely disappointing. To top it off, an automatic gratuity was added to the bill—effectively charging us for service we didn’t get.
Great service . Food was great . Margarita’s were amazing ! My only complaint would be it’s way overpriced. We had 3 drinks , nachos with small bits of chicken on it ,and a small wing appetizer and it came to $130 . You’d honestly get more for your money at The Keg.
Extremely slow service. Do you have enough cooks?

This is my first time ever writing a bad review and I like cojones , the food was fairly good as usual ,however , I was immediately seated (great !) I was then waiting 15 minutes to place a drink order and once placed was waiting an additional 15 minutes for a bottle of beer. My food was eventually brought out by a different waitress. We ate and were not checked on again ...my beer was gone and I would have likely had 3-4 which if I am not mistaken is a big part of how restaurants make their revenue. Once I asked for by bill I had once again another 15 minute wait to which I was apologized to and told that Trivia night is so hectic... I did not come for Trivia ... I came for a good dining experience. Once given the debit machine I was then hit with a minimum tip option of 18% which has absolutely always been considered the higher end of a tip , if you feel your employees deserve more then pay them more or ensure the service is better.
Very frustrating experience at not an inexpensive restaurant.
We usually eat here every year on my birthday but we were definitely surprised this year with how much smaller the portions were- we get the same thing every time. I will say the taste of the food is absolutely delicious, I always look forward to it, and the staff are lovely! The street fries were incredible, the birria tacos are always great, although there was a large piece of fat in one, and the cod tacos are perfectly balanced with all the different toppings. We were surprised there is no chips and salsa for the table. A small sangria (very small) was $15. The tacos I received were honestly half the size of our last visit, and even half the size of other review pictures here from less than a year ago on the same plates- even the consume was served in a smaller cup which makes dipping awkward. The tacos could fit in my palm. The enchiladas were comically small, with a very small portion of beans and rice, and the chicken unfortunately wasn’t great, strange texture. To leave a restaurant hungry after spending close to $100 is disappointing. The restaurant business is hard, the cost of everything is rising, I’m sure the overhead is astronomical but shrinkflation is not the way to keep people coming back. I’d happily pay more to keep great places like this in business but not when the portions suffer.

My family went there tonight for a birthday supper and first impressions was that ok, it is a bit more rustic than what we had expected. The deep fryer was down so we could not order the tacos that we wanted so we adjusted our order. When we got them one of the pork tacos had a huge chunk of pure fat in it which was almost the size of the entire taco. We pointed this out twice but was never offered a replacement or even a discount. When we got the bill we were overcharged for the queso and chips by $5. It is doubtful that we will be back.

Very decent experience. We went around 2pm on a Saturday. Not many people were dining at the time but service was a bit slow and inattentive. The Mexican street fries had a good and tasty topping but the fries themselves were just frozen fries, a similar style to McDonald’s fries. We tried a few of the tacos and they were all very tasty. I’m sure the cod taco would be better with fresh cod when it’s in season but was alright when we tried it on this visit in January.
Dietary restrictions: We were able to substitute the mango habanero for a different sauce as we had a mango allergy.
Parking: Restaurant is located in a strip mall with a parking lot in front of the businesses
Wheelchair accessibility: Wide walkway between tables, plenty of space for a wheelchair. Also a variety of different types of tables, high top, booth, and regular chairs depending on your preference.

Hardly any meat, just sauce and tacos are still dry and tasteless somehow. Food seemed frozen and reheated, not actually cooked in building. Disappointing bc the aesthetic is nice. Spend more money on the food and less on the branding b'ys!
