My husband loved his steak. I had the chicken poblano which was very bland. I would probably order something else next time. Nice seating by the canal. Enjoyed the scenery.

Everything was perfect, except, I felt it took a little longer than I would have liked for the wait staff to pick up the payment for the cheque. It’s a wonderful place to enjoy a meal.

This Mexican restaurant has many different and tasty options that you don’t see in most similar themed restaurants. Each dish we had was super delicious and the jalapeño margarita was a standout. The service was also awesome.

Enjoyed the mexican food. Unlike most Mexican restaurants a negative was failure to provide chips and salsa. Service was okay but not exceptional, but they were quite busy during our lunch.

We had a 10:15 reservation and the staff was all in a meeting until after that time, we waited outside of the roped off area waiting. The pomegranate margarita was not good, tasted more like sugar. The food was mediocre at best and highly overpriced.
