We got there early and they were kindly able to seat us. The waitress was very friendly and the service was fast! We loved the tacos and margaritas but found the nachos a bit dry. We would both come back again to try more of the menu!

Celebrated birthday in group of 10. We all thoroughly enjoyed our meals and were impressed with the friendly service and the fact that all meals were delivered at the same time. We also appreciated being allowed to bring our own birthday cake at no extra cost. The only slight detraction was the music level which was a little on the loud side for a couple of us "oldies"; no big deal though. Will be back.

Went for my birthday with a group of 10 friends. I wrote in the booking notes that I'd love fun staff serving us because our group were parents on a kid-free night out. We were given a booth, which was a little squishy with 10 people, but staff offered a single seat at the end so we could spread out a little more. The staff were so good with serving drinks, making sure our orders were taken as soon as we decided, and keeping the energy positive. They even brought us a tray of watermelon tequila shooters for celebratory fun. Small place and good vibes, a great night out.
