    Our server was on her first solo shift. Her name was Rainey and she did an excellent job. Food was very tasty and large portions. I can recommend. Enjoy.

    Can't remember our server's name but she was amazing. Food is great as always. Love happy hour tacos and the white hot Mayo is seriously the best sauce ever

    I had a subpar experience. The food and service were not very good. If I do go back, it’ll be for happy margaritas and chips and guac only.

    Food and drinks were amazing. I wish we could have ordered more drinks before happy hour ended, so we went to another restaurant for more drinks.

    First time trying this restaurant. We went there for lunch and enjoyed the food and margaritas. But the music was a bit too ouf for my liking. However, I will definitely be returning for the food for sure.

    First time there, it was for my wife’s birthday. We went on a Monday evening and all Margaritas were half price. The drinks were great and the food was incredible, great value for the money.

    Worth the drive across the city to come here. Margaritas were really good, food was delicious (although wasn’t a fan of the spicy coleslaw). Server was awesome & all the staff very friendly. Glad we made a reservation even tho it was Monday-super busy with a line-up at the door!

    When I first walked in the hostess did not make eye contact and it seemed that she ignored me. She just left so I wasn’t sure if she was the hostess and then a couple other girls came by but again no one said anything , then she returned and I guess was the hostess, typed some things and then the phone started ringing so she answered that and was a few minutes there . Then she said “sorry hi . She could have begun with “ hello just give me a second “. I was there ant least 5-10 min before she acknowledged me . Also , It was a beautiful sunny day and I was hoping for patio but I didn’t get asked anything , she just put me in a dark corner table by the front entrance. When my guest arrived she was like - this is dark … perhaps a romantic spot for some ? But not for a couple of ladies on a night out. We got the free taco chips right away but no water came and even after we ordered drinks we had to ask for water after the drinks came.

    It was just ok. The food wasn’t extra special. Our queso had unmelted chunks of cream cheese in it. Our orders weren’t correct. My cocktail was $12 but quite small. The staff do not wipe the benches when bussing a table, so there was food on my seat. Fruit flies were buzzing around our meal.

    The crispy cauliflower tacos are the perfect amount of crispy texture, with bursting flavours from the pico and jalapeño ranch. Service was good, the restaurant was clean. No complaints!

    We had a reservation and were seated and chips and salsa put on our table. Servers coming and going and not busy inside. 10 minutes passed and no one came to our table and asked what we would like to drink. A couple were seated behind us and waited on instantly. We walked out and will not go back.

    Great spot for some Mexican food in the south where there aren’t a bunch of other spots to go to. Went on Tuesday with half price tacos, and it was a hell of a deal. Quite noisy, but good atmosphere.
