Went there this morning for a reservation for 11:30…. Hours say it opens at 11:00…. There was a reservation. Was pitch black and no one answered….if the hours changed, cool! But maybe don’t let people make a reservation lol

The service and food were totally outstanding. The restaurant is new and very clean and bright. My only complaint is that there is virtually no parking near it. We luckily found a vacant spot, probably only because we arrived for a late (1:30 pm) lunch.

We all really enjoyed our dinner. I had the whole red snapper and it was phenomenal! The margarita is a margarita mix so no fresh lime and they did not have simple syrup. Most of their English is not very good. But over all we really enjoyed it. The churro dessert was delicious.

To the owner,
This place has went to a downhill Mexican restaurant for me and my family. We loved coming here about 3 times a week. I truly have lost my business coming here. I have multiple concerns and complaints.
1. The manager “Daniel” doesn’t care about his customers. He stands there and looks at everyone eat. Doesn’t greet ANYONE. He gives people mean looks. We even called him over to ask him for something and just kept walking. He just smacks his gum and doesn’t do anything.

2. They forgot half our order. We needed limes and salsa verde, the salsa bar didn’t have anything. We waited 10 minutes for that, and yes our food got cold. The salsa bar is a terrible idea.
3. To be ignored by someone who is in charge, is disrespectful.
Who wants to touch all of the other handles of the salsas that everyone has touched?? And then sit down and eat chips with our hands. It’s just unsanitary. Everything was terrible but we did have the sweetest server. That was the only pro.

I should’ve read the reviews before I decided to dine. The food is very much bland. Simple things to make the food better they don’t do out of laziness , in my opinion. I asked for elote, they boil the corn and not attempt to char the corn. I also ordered beef taco salad. Tasted like cafeteria beef. And the shell wasn’t fresh. Lastly, I ordered a lemon drop, the best thing I had and that was sub par. I LOVE Mexican food and this restaurant does such an injustice to the deliciousness it can be.

Nothing special here. Average to below average quality & taste of food that you could find at any similar type of Mexican restaurant. This place gets business because they picked a good, no-fail location. Poor service by the taller, younger waitress who couldn't handle taking our order even after we waited patiently for 15 min. When I smiled and politely raised my hand, making eye contact with her across the room, she shouted out that she had 3 tables to get drinks to. Uh, yeah, there were 2 of you and only 5 tables occupied on a Tue. @ 6:00. If you can't handle that, then don't do the job. When she finally came over to take our order, she acted like she was being bothered. I wouldn't go here again because of poor service, cheaply made food, no atmosphere, all on top of having to pay to park in the area.
