Wonderful Mexican restaurant with authentic dishes. Excellent quality food and drinks. Nice bar and general ambiance. Music was interesting with a mix of Cuban Mexican Spanish and Italian opera. Wonderful

Horrible service. We waited forever for drinks, chips & salsa and refills. Food was just ok when it finally came. We then had to wait for an extended period of time for silverware and shells so we could actually eat our meals. Bathrooms were a mess with no toilet paper. This was one of the worst dining experiences I’ve ever had. It was especially frustrating since it was a graduation celebration for my daughter

Food was bland. Queso was worst we’ve had. Service was very slow. Overcharged for margaritas. Won’t be going back.

So this was our first time here. Food was authentic. However, it was the little things. We asked for a small guac which for 7 dollars was tiny but we went with it. Fajitas did not come with guac. Fajita steak was done well and i was not asked how i wanted it and it was not sizzling which led me to believe it was already made. We asked what type of tequila as we like to taste and were told "all of them". Maybe create a tequila flight on menu or list your tequilas somewhere. I don't remember the name of all tequilas but a list with pricing could help sell more. Especially when the server couldn't name one. They should offer to make a meal out of some of their "appetizer" options. My husband got the burrito but we had to pay extra for rice separate and refried beans separately. Felt a little nickel and dimed... Our server did her best, overall it was a good experience. Not sure if we would go back.

Busy for a good reason! Yum! Table service can be slow with the busy takeout needs. Drinks and food are spot on! We will return!

We had a party of 7 the day we went. It was the worst experience, and none of us will go back. The service was very slow, and the attention of the waiter was almost non-existent. We sat at a table in front of the bar as you come in. Some ordered drinks, and we could see them sitting on the bar counter waiting to be served. Most were warm and watered down when we got them. The food was just warm and not very good. Two of the orders were mixed up and not even what we ordered. It wasn't a good first experience with this restaurant for any of us.
