Service was ok? Like not great. I would suggest coming at least an hour before happy hour ends because it seemed like they were ignoring us because happy hour was ending.

Layla, our server, was awesome! 10/10 would go again! The TORTA SANDWICH was literally the best chicken sandwich I’ve ever had…and I’m old and have eaten a lot of chicken sandwiches!

Went to celebrate Cinco de Mayo. It was very busy. Our server was okay but seemed short and annoyed with us when we had a question about the menu or didn’t realize once that they brought out a side with our dips and we were confused on why it was out already. It was an honest mistake on our part but she looked like she wanted to throw it at us when she came back out. I didn’t notice any of us being rude or demanding so not sure why such a poor attitude. Others at the table expressed the same feeling.

Great tacos and margaritas. I will be back. The fish tacos were the best of what I ordered. Also enjoyed the guacamole. Nice and chunky. Also trio was delicious, but the hot could have been spicer for my tastes.

The food was great, seems like queso portions may have gotten smaller but food always has the same excellent flavor. Service was very fast with plenty of room .

Server was really good! Food was amazing! Chorizo chili is awesome! Carnita and chicken soft tacos were great as well. Marg and Mojito were amazing. My wife said it’s the best mojito she’s had in a long time. We had a really nice time.
