Service was great & so was dessert. Entrees we so so. Chilean sea bass seasoning was strange. Our waiter said it was adobo seasoning. But that was not the description on the menu. Octopus was rubbery.

Food, flavor and service were great across the board. The only downside was all of the cheese in every single thing we ordered. So much cheese. Great quality cheese just a lot of it.

Great spot - LWR was in need of something like this. Food was great, server knowledgeable and cocktails were fun - especially for a tequila lover like myself. Only negative I experienced was being seated outside on the sidewalk at a hightop table, although I made a reservation for standard indoor seating.

The restaurant is very tastefully decorated and has a great location. The staff is very knowledgeable and very friendly. The menu is somewhat limited for a Mexican place. There is a pretty long cocktail menu, and a number of specialty margaritas, but no margaritas featuring Mezcal are in the menu. The “House Margarita” was unbalanced, it had absolutely no sweetness and just didn’t taste very good. I enjoyed the “Day of the Dead” margarita and the watermelon one was okay. The guacamole came in a small portion and again the taste was unbalanced - it had a lot of citrus - so much that it had a sour taste on the tongue. The tacos were served as two tacos with a little bowl of beans, and the tortillas fell apart. I don’t think I will return, despite the nice ambiance and service I was disappointed in the food and drinks.

I really wanted to like this place, but I can’t say that I did. The restaurant was about 75% full. Seated immediately. Waited 10 minutes for first contact. Waited 15 minutes after the check was requested. The cocktails were bland. The food was good but over priced compared to direct competitors.

The food and drinks were expensive. However, they were very good. The ambience in the new restaurant was outstanding with gorgeous wall paper and comfy chairs. It would have been much much better had the service been quicker especially to get drinks. We ordered a second drink. It didn't come so we asked a manager for a second drink. EVENTUALLY the drink showed up and a second drink eventually showed up. They had to eat the erroneous third drink. Also, I think the waiters need to be taught to look around instead of being completely focused on one event or order. Tough to attract their attention.

Disappointed overall. The restaurant is beautiful and the atmosphere is certainly lively but VERY loud. The food was mediocre at best and very expensive. Our $20 octopus appetizer was 4 small tough pieces of octopus served with a good amount of potatoes and was lukewarm, the tacos were just OK but really $22-24 for 2 tacos??? Service was rushed, our server seemed to just want to get us out and turn the table.

Went for their Day of the Day block party and grand opening. What a science! They had a dj, kids playing, face painting, and a fire dancer! My food and drinks were excellent as always! This place is hands down the best place around, and I think the secret is getting out! Can’t wait to go for lunch on Friday!

Love this spot and we needed a higher end restaurant off 70 in LWR. Been told the steaks were excellent, so I tried the NY Strip and loved it. The Fuego butter and black salt on the hot plate were a nice touch also. Next time I’ll try it paired with the Scallops which I was told they offer now. Quality of food, service and ambiance here are top notch. All around great experience. The drinks and extensive tequilla list alone would have brought me back, but loving the food options more and more after each visit.

I ordered fajitas. There was at least 1/4 inch of grease in the bottom of the dish. The chicken included a drumstick. Who ever heard of eating a drumstick in a fajita! I asked for salt 3 times. The last time I was finally told they don't have salt shakers. When the bill came, I was over charged for the appetizer. When I pointed this out to the server, the bill was corrected. When I made the reservation, when asked if there was a special ocassion, I told them that it was for my husband's birthday. I thought that they would at least have sung "Happy Birthday". Why else ask if there is a special ocassion. To top it all off, the food was not good. This was our first time there and we will never eat there again.

Disappointing. Food was bland. Fajitas were soaked in oil. Ceviche had little flavor. Day of the Dead margarita was very cool, other than that, overpriced and generic.

Food and service was superb. Good team work with staff. Everyone was friendly and accommodating. We sat on the porch area which, unfortunately, was louder than we'd like and the music was not to our taste with a heavy boom/beat which made it difficult to hear.

You get chips and salsa when you are seated and the chips have a tasty seasoning on them. My wife had the Colossal Crab Ceviche and love it, that’s saying something as she is a tough one to be impressed by a meal. I had the Fajita Skillet and it was delicious. The Rum Cake for desert was delicious. The service was quick and friendly, the GM Randi looked to be a great leader and customer friendly. We highly recommend!
