    It was a busy night yet we had a reservation and took forever to just get water and then to order. Our food took over an hour and was OK - salsa was not that great and the margarita was in a short juice/liquor glass. The outside area is nice yet for the overall experience then we will probably not go back.

    The location is fun. Lots of people coming and going on a Sat night. The food is consistently okay but nothing great. We took a visitor so he could see the area down by the canal, and we enjoyed the evening. Service was very attentive.

    Our waiter was nice, but the kitchen was behind which caused issues with getting food on time

    It was nice, we sat outside. Mushroom taco amazing. Queso ok. Salsa not what I would call salsa, way too tomato-ish.

    My spouse ordered a bowl, it was underwhelming. The tacos were great. Service was on par. Loved the interior and music. The temperature was too cold were we were seated. But I would visit again.

    Carne asada meat had a lot of grizzle in the tacos. I like some fat but a few pieces were all grizzle.

    Some of the bartenders weren't incredibly attentive. Although the drinks were good and food was fine considering the price. My friend insists 5 stars for Chris “bc he's cute”

    The food was not good, the service was okay but overall the food was laughably awful. Not authentic Mexican restaurant. The tacos had about have the portion of meat and the tortillas were cold. Portions are small and our bill was about 200$. If you want Mexican don’t go here. If you want to get robbed, then go here.
