Good ambiance and food!

Very bland food, tasted like the black beans were right out of a can. Rice had no flavor. Chips were stale. The mango steak tacos had no real flavor except spicy.
The mezcal margarita was good, at least.

The parking was easy and the inside was nice and cozy, very inviting. The appetizer was ok the prawns tasted like they were frozen from cosco, and a little over cooked. I have had worse. The tacos I had were ok also the meat was a little dry, and the black beans and rise had zero flavor. The old fashioned was good but not had to do with good whiskey. The service however was horable, hardly came to our table and when he did he was a man of very very few words didn't realu give any suggestions even after we told him it was our first time in. When we were done with our meal we asked for boxes, took about 5 min to bring them and then another 10 to get the check. I don't think we will be back.

Went for happy hour, and got all the yummy margs! Drinks are plentiful and delicious. Not the bestest margaritas but they’ll do! Didn’t get a pic of all our drinks because we were thirsty, and they were chilled to perfection.

Got the dip flight appetizer and it was wonderful! Must order are the quesobarria tacos!!! They come in a plate of three standalone!! They’re cooked perfectly crispy on the outside with melted cheese inside!

Staff and service were great! Super friendly and very attentive to our beverage needs!

Only complaint, as it gets busy, it does get loud in the space. I was feeling like I had to speak louder than normal so my friends would hear me.

Raw chicken. I ordered a chicken wrap & my husband ordered a burrito. The first bit of my wrap was very good, but as I ate, there was the recognizable texture of undercooked chicken. At this point, I was getting full, so I finished up the fries which were very good. The busser came by & I let her know to let the chef know about the chicken. Then, I let the waitress know. She apologized & of course it was not her fault. I didn’t ask for anything, but also, nothing was offered. I was hoping we had found our go to spot for lunch before catching the opera on a Sunday afternoon, but no. We were also offered a special that when I ordered it was not even available. The only reason I give it a 2 star was that my husband enjoyed his burrito, although it was sadly lacking on actual meat. Will not be back.

Food was really yummy! The portion sizes are good. It was a tad busy, so we ended up not getting our drinks until we'll after our food arrived, and we asked for chips/salsa but didn't receive it. There were 3 of us, with food/1 drink each/tip, it was $100. Prices were a tad high, and I do think better service would have upped my rating--but the server may have been new, too. Overall, it was a great experience.

The food wasn't very good, the place was extremely loud, I think it wasn't really designed for people 50 and older it's more for the younger generation.
