    When good go bad..this place used to be great. It has had a face-lift but sadly the old staff are no longer and the food and service have gone way down. Sadly after being a favorite for years I doubt I would go back

    $8 for chips and salsa? $20 for 2 small steak tacos? Not worth it. You can walk 1 block south and get more for your money at Mexique. The chips were super stale too. I had to get up and find someone to pay for our bill because it was taking too long to get anything. Even the people who sat down behind us left because they were waiting so long for the waiter to come and just take their drink order.

    I’ve had better Mexican food, limited menu for Cinco deMayo, waiter mixed up a simple order, and music was too loud. Might go back for drinks but probably not for a meal.

    Went in a Sunday. Wasn’t crowded. The menu had no variety plus they were out of certain items already. Limiting an already limited menu. This is around 1230 1pm. Possibly three reservations max indoor and outdoor happening. Very disappointing. Drinks were the only bright side as it was a great price for bottomless and you can mix and match (Bloody Mary one round mimosa next for example)
