All of the dishes we had were tasty, the waitress was friendly and attentive, the service was quick and efficient, and the outdoor seating was nice with someone playing music on his guitar in the background. My family and I enjoyed our experience here and definitely recommend to others to eat here.

Everything was absolutely perfect EXCEPT for the noise level. Acoustics were horrible. We had to yell across the 2-seat table to be able to hear one another over all of the other guests talking and laughing so loudly. Food was excellent, great value, huge portions, staff was very pleasant and helpful. We will be back. But we may request to sit in the lounge/bar or outside.

There was a band that was extremely loud; even our server found it distracting. conversation was more like yelling. I returned my entree because it looked haphazard, and the staff cheerfully replaced it with a much better rendition. I really appreciated that. Still, I have had the same short rib enchiladas three times and these were not nearly as good as in the past, and certainly did not look like the photos online. I likely won't order them again. So, that was very disappointing. We stayed almost three hours (the music finally ended) and had a lot of food to take home. Generous portions for the $44 Restaurant Week menu. I like that the restaurant is close to where I live, too. Again, staff was terrific all around.

Pass. Bad food. Ok service but I felt rushed and not welcomed. Shady area of town. Pre-made food that was over cooked and unappealing. Wasn’t charged for it which was the right way to handle it.

Cinco de Mayo dinner was kind of flop food -wise. I had to tell the waitress my drink order was off. Come to find out no Grand Marnier at all for my Cadillac marg. What bar runs completely out especially on Cinco de Mayo? Mahi Mahi tuna was so dry it crumbled upon touch. The waitess was very kind and accommodating to allow me to order another entree. The rice with peas just ok. Beans were cold. Why is this venue going downhill? The food used to be so good!

I go there often bc it really good, and for a third time now I have had the Hispanic guy. Bigger guy. I am a bigger Hispanic guy too, so I’m not being rude, it’s just how we are haha I just am very unsatisfied every time I have him. He never comes back to ask if we want a refill on a drink. So that’s a loss of sales there. He came once to see if our food got there and didn’t come back until he was ready for us to pay. Our drinks were empty. I wanted another mezcal drink. And it’s it very consistent with him. He doesn’t look at us in the eyes, he takes our order and leaves. I’m just responding now bc it really really upset me this time. It usually does in the moment, but it stuck with me this time. I was on a date and took them there bc without him as a server the experience is great. Just wanted to share.

This is a fascinating place. Go have fun and take it all in. Fun vibe. All kinds of people crowd. Great live music. And the food and margaritas are awesome. We had the chips with the guacamole and salsas—delicious; chunky fresh homemade guac, spicy salsa and super fresh pico. Pork was to die for. Just perfect. Veggie tacos with rice and beans so good. Not gonna lie—this was not what I was expecting. When walked in I was a little surprised. But then I just keep being delighted and fascinated. This place is fun!
