Food was amazing. They forgot to bring my chips and salsa though. But that's okay, things happen and I wasn't mad. Bartender from Venezuela was super friendly and did a great job. Thanks guys!

5 Star Service! Our waiter was very attentive and Fast! The only thing holding that 5th star was the ground beef.
My son loves tacos but all the extra stuff in the ground beef made it taste bad. I can eat almost anything but that ground beef was not good.
The rest of our meal was great. My daughter loved her quesadilla, my wife and I loved our fajitas.
