*BEWARE* My husband and I visited this establishment for the first and last time this past Friday. We both only ordered one drink a piece when the bartender insisted on giving us two ‘free shots’ I noticed after we received the bill that the bartender included the ‘two free shots’ stating she charged us additional for the liquor she added to my husband’s one drink he did not ask for additional liquor only what came with the drink. We are very well connected in the community and will be letting anyone that will listen know never to patronize this business.

I never leave bad reviews, but this was honestly the worst experience I’ve ever had at a restaurant. From start to finish, the service was unprofessional and careless.

The bartender completely ignored us the entire time, never once acknowledging us while vaping and chatting with (what appeared to be) the manager. Someone else eventually took our order, but when I asked if they had corn tortillas (since I have a gluten allergy), I was told yes by a server wearing AirPods. When the food arrived, I asked again and was told with an eye-roll that they were actually flour. Not only was that dismissive, but it also could have had serious health consequences for me.

Despite trying multiple times, I could not get the bartender’s attention, and once our food came, we were never checked on again. To make it worse, another friend who joined us never even got served.

I truly don’t like leaving negative reviews, but this experience was embarrassing, frustrating, and unsafe. The lack of professionalism and care for guests, especially around allergies, is unacceptable.

ASK FOR RECEIPT! Upon arriving at this establishment, i was charged a $20 cover fee. I bought 2 drinks totaling $28 from the bar. When asked for a receipt, I was ignored but I assumed it was due to the high volume of customers. An initial charge of $28 was displayed on my bank account. Upon checking account again, and additional $20 tip was added. I've called everyday for the past week to inquire about charge and I keep getting the runaround. If it can happen to me, it can happen to you.

As soon as you want To entertain the black community we have to pay a price. I thought this was a mexican restaurants. So now it's a club. I came a far away to try to get some of this food and I was highly upset. You want to charge me $15 & my wife $10 To enter your establishment with a bunch of smoke.A young children running around.You got to be out of your freaking mind.. I promise you I would never recommend nobody to come here. All my good friends that work up in Norristown

The atmosphere was great but the charged us for an extra drink we didn't get, the chips were stale (most likely store bought), and my friend got the birria tacos and the meat was hard to chew and swallow and it was all soggy and gross, I ordered a crush soda and the brought me a seltzer, the water was disgusting.There was also hair on the seats and people trash everywhere. Would not go back. Overall not a fun experience.

Went tonight for my daughter’s birthday dinner. This place is great. Food was yummy, staff was amazing and the axe throwing was so much fun. The staff went above and beyond to make my daughter’s celebration special. This was our first time there, but won’t be our last.
