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.

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!

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.
