    Visited for an early dinner. It happened to be "all day" happy hour on (Taco) Tuesday. Appetizers were great, tacos were just "OK". Price for both was consistent with inflated Galleria pricing, so not cheap. Table service was outstanding but having only 1 bartender on duty greatly slowed the experience. It's not traditional mexican food dining. The vibe is more of a trendy bar for younger professionals who live/work/play in the Galleria area.

    Convenient to hotel guests at The Galleria. Wait staff polite but to noisy to hear him, so not surprised part of my order was missed. Queso: room temp Chips & Salsa: best item served Trio Enchiladas with an upgraded short rib beef: tortillas were burritos size & too chewy. Softer corn tortillas will improve that dish. Chicken tinga was missing the tinga spices, chicken not shredded and dry. Carnitas were tasteless with a meager portion. Perfect venue for happy hour drinkers, appetizer only diners or patrons with no taste buds. Won’t be back.

    Unfortunately our service was terrible, our waitress took forever to come back and ask for drink refills, chip refills, well everything. The food was average, the only good part was the patio sitting.

    Outstanding food, phenomenal service; our server McKenzie was great, but absolutely off-the-chain noisy. We left without finishing our meals as we were unable to hear ourselves think, let alone have a non-yelling conversation. Really too bad as it was awesome otherwise.

    The food was fair, I was hoping for a true Tex-Mex flavor being a Texan. The dishes (queso and enchiladas) arrived lukewarm. The chips and salsa tasted like they were not in house-made, definitely giving Pace Picante Sauce flair. I definitely expected more.

    This was our first time going here and Jade our waitress was the best. If you have her as your server, your experience will be amazing. She was super attentive, made great food and drink recommendations and was simply enjoyable. We will definitely be back here. Oh and the Cadillac margarita and smashed watermelon margarita was so good and so was the ceviche!! Our entrees were good well. No complaints from me on this place.
