The restaurant and food are fine. We had a waiter that absolutely would not stop trying to upsell us. Want to use a premium liquor? Want to make it a double? How would you like the dinner for two? If you don’t want that we recommend an appetizer or salad and three or four tacos per person! The clincher was we were in and out of there in 20 minutes. He ran the card and conveniently pushed the 25% tip which I caught and changed to 20% before signing the machine.

I hate writing negative reviews, but we were very disappointed with the food and drinks. The service was excellent, we left feeling cheated on food quality. The margaritas were super sweet and could tell if they had alcohol.

Nice meal - was recommended by a friend. Things started off well and the server was attentive, he upsold our drinks (which I was fine with as we were celebrating). We drank our water and he noted that and said he’d bring us some more. He never did. He then brought over a jug of water about 30mins later as well as our bill. He presented me with the option to leave a tip and had already clicked on the highest amount possible (25%). After having to wait for water then it being presented just before he asked for his tip.. on top of this we sat with our dirty plates in front of us for about half hour. Service didn’t justify 25% so I removed his selection and added 18% (still an extra $25!). He clearly wasn’t happy and went straight over to his colleagues to have a moan - they all stared at us and made us very uncomfortable. Left with a bad feeling about this place

We attended for Cinco de Mayo. Got a pitcher of pineapple margaritas. Got an assortment of tacos. Our waiter Mario was super attentive and great. The manager on shift stopped in to check on us. Super great food, great value, would definitely attend again.
