    The server forgot about us and didn’t come back until after we were done with our dinner. At first, we ordered two margaritas and told him we were definitely going to get more. After that, we never saw him until after we had finished our food. That was when he asked if I wanted another margarita. At this point, they hadn’t even refilled my water, so the answer was no. The carnitas plate was great, but the service lacked. The valet at the La Quinta Resort had recommended this place.
