My sister and I came here out of town with a group of friends to celebrate our birthday dinner. We made a reservation and were seated right away however we waited about 20 minutes just to get some water to the table which we had to ask for. Our waitress was extremely rude, barely mumbled two words to us all evening, and every time we asked for something it seemed liked the biggest inconvenience. Our drinks sat on the bar for 15 minutes before we again asked for them from a different waitress. After our meals came out we barely saw our waitress to tell her if we needed anything else. At this point we were frustrated and asked to speak with a manager, as it was the attitude that just was not ok. The manager was rude, seemed to yet again be inconvenienced, did not make eye contact and made faces while we explained our unhappy experience. Another manager came to our table and SHE did apologize for our experience but asked “but did you get those things that you needed?” When we explained that our waitress had a poor attitude and seemed to be inconvenienced when we asked for something small (another drink, a box, etc). The unprofessionalism we experienced at this restaurant was appalling and the excuses we were given for poor management and bad attitudes were astounding. Definitely do not recommend!!

Awesome place to come grab a bite to eat. Drinks where amazing, service was exceptional. Only downside was the food, I had the Birria Quesadilla and it was so greasy it gave me a stomach ache.Parking: Parking was $5.85 for 1-hour

Not your typical taco place. Toppings of taco are actually served in a dish for you to assemble your own taco. I’m so glad it was separate because the tortillas (I got corn) were so hard a dry that it took away from the amazing flavors of the meat. I ended up just putting my meat on the bed of rice and left the tortillas on the plate. Chips & Queso was great! Overall not really worth the price.

Stopped here for lunch with some co-workers. This was my first time here, and I would go back to again. Something happened with the restaurants POS machines and we had to wait a while for any orders to be taken until they were connected. We had to speed up service with our waiter, but she was respectful and accommodating about it. Sorry I don’t remember name for a shoutout. This was different from any other Tex-Mex I’ve had before, but it was all surprisingly tasty. The menu items are unique, so you just have to be willing to try something new. I had the Lomo Saltado tacos, and they were delicious! Would definitely eat them again. Beautiful atmosphere here. Would be a nice spot to eat outside at when the weather is nice.

Me and my girlfriend visited here before the rock and roll museum, we were really excited but ended up being dissatisfied. The meat for the tacos was really good, just needed a little salt, but once we made our tacos the corn tortillas were so dry and bland, it was almost not edible. The rice was bland as well The chips and queso were the best thing but the cheese was also bland. I wouldn't recommend this place tbh

Ahhhhh, not the best food here. Everything was bland and the consume that came with my birria quesadilla was legit water. I made my friends try it as well since I thought it was bizarre that it was so bland when it was supposed to be used as a dipping sauce/condiment for my quesadilla. The queso and chips were the only good thing we ordered (you can't really mess up cheese and chips). If you're looking to come here for authentic Mexican or even good tasting Mexican food, don't. But the view is very nice and the inside is gorgeous. It is overpriced for what you're eating/getting but my guess is that you're Paying for the location. I will say though our server was AMAZING and funny and gave us a complimentary birthday shot. He was wonderful even though our food was not as great.
