This place was amazing. I had my birthday dinner here. Everyone came out. The staff was friendly. They sang me happy birthday. They gave me free shots. It was a lot of energy. A lot of noise. It’s a must try great place for birthdays. I would do it all over again happy birthday to me

I was there to celebrate my birthday and they didn't have my favorite plate so I order a Cajun shrimp, it's the worst Cajun that l have tried..I was kind of frustrated

Not Great Mex. Pork wrapped in a tortilla is not a burrito. Thick Tomato soup is not salsa. Canned cheese is not Queso sauce.

Food was good, better than most tex mex around the area. However, what irked me the most was the forced gratuity payment and the service charge. Places need to be more upfront about these sort of things. Also, the fact that there's a forced gratuity charge should mean that they should be paying their workers a fairer wage.

Edit: You know what? After much consideration, I'm backtracking and taking off another point because if the gratuity is already included, does it even matter if I get excellent service? Really, the service itself was average and not impressive. I thought a tip was used to congratulate your server on their excellent service, not just a bonus for bringing you your food and refilling your drink. (Also, it took them quite a while to provide me a refill on my drink)

I would have give it a 5-star because of atmosphere and food that is great, but when I saw my ticket and I saw a credit card service fee, I said wow all the restaurants don't do that but this one does. I'm sorry but now next time part of that service fee will be part of the tip sorry waitersand waitress. So I give this restaurant 4 stars now.

My family came for dinner on a week night, kinda late (7:30pm ish), with a 3 week old infant. We had hearing protection for her, but nothing could’ve prepared us for the noise we experienced. There were 4 birthday “celebrations” that happened in the short time we were there and it was the most unpleasant experience in a restaurant any of us ever had. Not to mention, even with hearing protection, every single time it terrified that poor baby even from across the building. We slammed our food and booked it out of there as quickly as we could.

The food itself was very bland, and fairly expensive. One of their salsas was excellent though!

Overall, this restaurant was not our cup of tea at all. I can understand though that some people would love the rowdy environment! There’s just better Mexican food with a little more relaxed atmosphere all over Midcounty or SETX.
