    There was some kind of dj out front talking loudly into a mic the whole time and you couldn't even understand him. Not sure what the purpose of it was considering it was mainly an older crowd. Service was very slow initially. Waited 20 minutes for two margaritas to arrive and for the waiter to take our food order, yet he was standing around doing nothing most of the time and wasn't even the one to bring the food out. We were never asked if we wanted another drink or dessert; instead, they just brought the check. Very disappointing.

    We had a great experience at Centro. The ambiance was fun. Drinks were good and the food was delicious. The tyluda and birria burrito were oh so good. Our server had the perfect balance between being attentive and letting us enjoy our evening.

    Food was great and our waiter was amazing. We had an overall wonderful experience here while visiting our daughter at college. We have been there several times and will definitely go back.

    Brewster was an excellent server--very attentive, knowledgeable and kind. Loved our red sangria, the Posole was fabulous - I had never tried it before! My daughter loved her chicken thigh taco board and John loved his chicken enchiladas! We were a very content table! Thank you!

    Food was delicious, our entire table of 6 ordered taco boards! Service was incredible. We sat in the outside tent area and it was a little warm but very nice.
