Happy hour was mediocre. Drinks were good but pretty small. We ordered the nachos but there were so many liquidity toppings that all the chips got super soggy really fast. Bartender was nice though.

The food is good. No issues there. The service is a bit slow. Watched a family leave after about 15 minutes when no one came to serve. The music is very loud and not what you would expect for a Mexican themed restaurant. I'll go back for the food but the other things need improvement.
