   No incentive to come for your birthday. We even mentioned it to the waiter.

   Service was slow as ever. We got chips promptly from hostess, but five minutes until we got a waitress. We ask for restaurant week and it was a different menu. Menu was not provided so asked waitress for one. She said she would get one, however totally forgot and never got one. I finally went to get it. After a very long wait, waitress finally came to take order. Once we got our food, our waitress totally forgot us. Restaurant was not busy. Never offered to refill our waters. Definitely think twice about returning.

   Good food served hot by excellent servers, our server was very personable and did great. We were there for Restaurant Week, and had a hard time parking near by.

   This restaurant was a delight! The margarita flight was fantastic with three different flavors. The entree portions were large and everything we ordered was delicious. The guacamole had pomegranate arils which was unexpected but gave it a nice sweetness. Even the churros were wonderful. Definitely not the dry churros you get at a festival. These had caramel inside with chocolate sauce drizzle and served with ice cream. We will definitely return!

   Seated on patio. Service very slow. Waitress MIA. We had to cut our experience short as the sun was beating down on 50% of our table as our food arrived. Shades put down by staff but did not block the sun. This truly ruined our evening.

   We were seared near the kitchen door, so there was lots of traffic in and out. Meal was served too fast didn’t even finish the appetizer the meal was served. Table was too small to accommodate a dinner for two. Food was ok but nothing special. Flan was served cold with some runny sauce. In as mush this wS our first visit I might give it a second chance. There was a dinners niche to the side fo our table where a large party of women talked so load we couldn’t converse at our table. If i go again I’ll sit out on the patio.

   This was our first time at this Barrio location. The patio was great and quiet; The food was very good. I ordered the special for Restaurant's Week, with the enchiladas, which came with dessert at the same time. Then later on, the margarita arrived, then the guacamole at the end of the meal. Not sure it was the order it was supposed to come, but everything was good

   Food was good and so was the service. We ate inside and had a couple of flies bothering us.

    Shredded chicken taco ended up being a solid pink piece of dark meat. Enchilada sauce is like marinara sauce. Wouldn’t recommend.
