It was very crowded when we arrived so I was glad we made a reservation. There was a small space to wait so I felt I was in the way of the servers. We only had a short wait, just a few minutes after our scheduled time. Our server was great. The food was better than an average Mexican restaurant. My only slight complaint was the noise level, it was hard to hear each other talk.
