Love this place for their respect and kindness toward myself and my service dog. Their salsa verde is AMAZING. I suggested they sell 16oz and 32oz to-go salsa with a side of chips.

We came for breakfast and in spite of the fact that the place was empty, our server seemingly forgot to put in half of our order. So while my desayuno numero uno was fine, my friend sat patiently for over an hour for french toast. Didn't seem like the server was interested in doing their job, which I get but like come on.

Garbage food, overpriced, rude staff, long wait for food. Horrible Experience
I had the enchiladas de pollo. It was a very attractive dish, but it wasn't particularly tasty. The beans and rice were just bland. The enchiladas were okay, but not outstanding (and I've had a lot of Mexican food). I guess the worst part of the meal was that the food wasn't fire hot. Normally, the plates would have been under the broiler to melt the cheese. This came out on an unheated plate and, while I can't swear to it, my impression was the enchiladas had been heated in a microwave then dressed with grated cheese, sour cream and onions and cilantro; all of which were stone cold. I fear they sacrificed flavor and hot food for a fancy presentation. It was not worth the $18 I paid for it. So, it was okay, but I wouldn't go back.

Such a nice location and good service. But sadly the food is just really subpar. Fun vibes for drinks and maybe chips and salsa but would not recommend if you’re seeking a good meal. Better alternatives in the area.

This is definitely a hidden little gem if you are in the area. The margaritas were perfect, the tacos were delicious. We tried the carnitas tacos and the chorizo tacos. The ambiance is warm and inviting. Highly recommend for a quick bite and refreshing beverage.

Burrito was flavorless, need seasoning or salsa. Bartender was friendly and attentive. Vibe was a nice Mexican restaurant. Spicy margarita was spicy and good.

The atmosphere was nice and the service was descent but the food was not good. We got matches and there was barely any cheese on it. The beans and corn were tasteless. Could get better nachos at so many other places for a fraction of the price.

When deciding which Mexican spot to take my friends who were visiting, we checked out the reviews first and should’ve listened to the reviewers who had service criticisms. From the minute we walked in, the vibe among staff members was less than warm & welcoming. The hostess seemed honestly annoyed to have to seat us, but our waitress was even more disappointing. She definitely didn’t want to have to be waiting on us and we tried the entire time to not take it personal lol. When the service at a restaurant is so poor that it’s the topic of your dinner conversation, you know it’s bad. Once she took our order we barely saw her again, and when we needed her it was impossible to get her attention. Normally we’d understand this and give her a little grace if the restaurant was slammed, but it wasn’t. I saw her walking around leisurely at one point, clearly not stressed. She just kinda didn’t care. When a kitchen staff member finally delivered our food, we asked him for waters because we weren’t getting them otherwise. Thankfully I was super impressed with my food, though my friends found it mid. My margarita was unfortunately disappointing and watered down. The atmosphere was wonderful and part of the reason we wanted to go, but probably not enough to bring us back. Surprisingly unpleasant experience and sharing to confirm other reviewers’ complaints about the service.

The environment is really fun and artistic which is always nice. Cocktails are delicious, and the food was good but not shocking or insanely amazing. Kinda pricey for tacos but I wouldn’t not recommend it!

I thought the food was very good. I was disappointed because they ran out of mint for the mojitos. And I was looking forward to drinking these all week.

Sat at a table at the bar
Bartender totally ignored us
Had to go to bar ourselves to get drinks
She mostly spent time talking to her friends that were at the bar
Sat for about 20 min with no drinks and no check.
She came out from behind the bar and waited on another table but again totally ignored us!!!!
Unbelievable!!!!!!

Service and atmosphere really just depends on the time of day you are there.
I found that early dinner is best. Not as crowded and the service is quick. Once the bar starts playing their music it's too loud and you can't even hear people at your own table.
