The food, service, and atmosphere were all wonderful. This is a place we’ve been coming to for years, and each year we leave even more satisfied. A special thank you to the lovely lady who took such great care of us. We truly appreciate everything!

Guacamole in the mocajete was fresh but bland. Guacamole added to the nachos was going brown (pre-made batch?). Other dishes all just seemed to be missing something. Mozzarella sticks with no sauce. Quesadillas with only sour cream - no other seasonings or sauces.

Service was pretty indifferent. We were left alone for long stretches and had to flag down the server for water refills.

On the plus side the margarita was good. Decor was festive.

Jahan was amazing, she was serving all of the tables in the place alone, and it seemed like she had a team of six people, incredible employee. Food was amazing, no wait service was great.
