"Great selection of tequilas and margaritas. We had strawberry, blood orange, cadillac and harbenor margaritas at our table. The tequila flights were amazing. Awesome food in a fun environment. This is my second time here and we had a party of 10. They were great getting us seated and served. Would come back again."

"I was very reluctant to bring my husband, parents and another couple here on a Friday night at 7:30pm during March madness/spring training but realize that a lot of people write reviews to COMPLAIN and you never truly get the whole picture because GREAT experiences aren't usually the ones people take the time to write about.
My experience was this:we were seated right away, got drinks and chips/salsa almost immediately. They were kind of busy so it was nice to have a busser coming around checking on us as well as our server.
Food was awesome and as my visitors were from Wisconsin we weren't picky about the authenticity of the Mexican food just as long as it tasted good, and it was!"

"The service was poor. We had to ask for everything from chips and salsa to our drinks. If you didn't ask they'd walk right past you! Food came out and wasn't timed well. My food was hot, kids and husbands cold or warm at best. I would never go back."

"The food was reasonably good but not good enough to prompt us to return. This restaurant's location make it a tourist eatery; we felt rushed through our meal. We ordered guac and chips and drinks to start, 5 mins later ordered dinner. The drinks & guac/chips (which were good) arrive 15 mins after we placed the order & our dinner (which was fair) arrived 2 mins after that. There was barely room on the table for the food, but what was more disappointing is we sensed the restaurant/server was more interested in quick table turnovers. She didn't even ask if we wanted dessert, but just brought out the bill. There are plenty of other Mex-themed restaurants in this city; the food here is not that special. This is not the place to chill and chat."

"Although we had an opentable reservation, we were seated at a high top table in the bar area, which meant that the bartender would be our server. It was clear that he wasn't happy about that and did only the essentials. The food was good but unremarkable, standard mexican. There are better choices nearby and I wouldn't make an effort to go back."
