Had an absolutely wonderful time will definitely go back & I highly recommend
Mondays- $5 margaritas and live jazz. Super fun, great atmosphere
Alyssa as a server was amazing. So personable and kind. Would recommend her 10/10 times
My family of 4 really enjoyed our meal. We loved the generous portion of chips and fresh salsa. The ropa vieja was fantastic. My kids really enjoyed the children's cheeseburgers, and they were only $6. Alyssa, our server, was very attentive and friendly. We highly recommend Babalu.
Food was excellent and not too expensive. Clean establishment with a great staff.
Mid tacos
Need more shrimpin
Ive been to this place a few times before and had lunch and my experience was good, this time I went to dinner on Saturday and honestly I was very disappointed with the food. Service was great and my server was super nice, the drinks are great (margaritas) and the mussels appetizer was decent. The Calamari was bad, tasted like old grease and was not pleasant. My main course was the Paella, now I was not expecting to be blown away but the dish had no flavor, no salt, no anything, the seafood was just boiled in water and the rice was just a mushy bland mess, super sad because it looked visually appealing. The other person in my party had the Birria Burger and it was just ok. I will give it 2 stars for the great service and drinks but the food needs to be worked on or something has to change , hate being negative I never post bad stuff but this was that bad.
Food was mid. Service was great. Hard pass on ever coming back. Spent $130 and nothing tasted better than decent.
Great food and a great atmosphere. Taco Tuesday was great!!
We were using a lifestyle discount card to get a deduction on the price and they gave us the lowest deduction we ever got. I wanted to order the Lamb
chop but they said they were out so I ordered the ribeye steak and it was possibly the worst steak I've ever had.

Still haven’t received my food yet
I am there for the margaritas & jazz 🎶 on MONDAY NIGHTS. As a mexican, its interesting to try other peoples take on a classic tacos.
Monday evening margaritas are a great deal and their live jazz is phenomenal, every Monday evening.
Food and service was fantastic! Only thing is it took a very long time to get our food and they were not busy at all.
Great food, hostess and staff. Atmosphere is spectacular. I had the chips and salsa with the shrimp tacos! Thank you Autumn
