“Do not get the regular margarita! Order the top shelf. It was the absolute worst margarita I have ever had. They replaced it with the top shelf which wasn’t the best I’ve ever had, but was way better (especially after adding the lime). Granted, I am a bit picky about my tequila. The food was pretty good, but we didn’t get our queso until after we got our food, it was worth the wait though. Our server was very friendly, and other than the delay of the queso, was very good. It reminded me of a cantina in Cozumel.“

“My husband picked up our order tonight and was impressed by how on top of everything and friendly everyone was. So much so that he didn't check the order. Unfortunately, he should have. We had an item missing, so he called to let them know and, though it was an inconvenience to have to drive back out, the manager on duty more than made up for the mistake. She took ownership, apologized, and happily made up for it. It's rare to receive actual customer service these days, so we're even more impressed. Thank you all for your hard work and for having accountability when a mistake occurred! You can really tell when place takes pride in their work and it makes becoming a return customer an easy decision. We will gladly choose this location in the future! Thank you all again! 🫶“
