    I found the food to be sub par and the service was so poor. It took over an hour to get our meal.

    Excellent food and service. Food a bit light on sides and condiments (no guacamole or salsa) and only popcorn upon seating vs nacho chips). Overall still a great place to go out for Mexican.

    Unfortunately our server wasn’t very warm or friendly, we felt as though we were a bother to her.
