    Excellent food and great service from Byron. We came to celebrate our mom’s 80th birthday and she had a great time. We all want to come back regularly. Unique presentations of Mexican cuisine. Everything we had was tasty and well prepared. If you want an upscale experience with a friendly and colorful vibe try this place out. Plus they have killer margaritas!

    This not a laid back welcoming Mexican restaurants. We were seated behind the host stand so we felt a blast of cold air every time the door opened. Whoever designed this place needs to rework the entrance. Never been to a Mexican restaurant that didn’t offer hip as and salsa for the table.The server, Carlos was helpful and welcoming. The food was tasty, but overpriced.

    The food was very good as usual. Food and drink costs are significantly higher than your typical Mexican restaurant. Food quality and presentation is really good but doesn’t warrant the cost.

    Food was great, decor is modern and festive. Be warned: there was a VERY loud Mariachi band playing, which would have been nice if I was not wanting to make conversation with my new friends. If you are wanting a quiet place to eat and hold a conversation, check to see if the band is playing on the night you are going.

    Everything this company touches turns to gold!! Just go! It's delicious!! Some of the seating is freezing cold or super hot, the tables outside are terrible...they all wobble, the host staff's eagerness to sit you in the worst possible spot when the whole restaurant is wide open is annoying...but even with all that said, while it is expensive, the food is delicious and the service is flawless!!!

    This place is a MUST!! My fiancé and I had an amazing time. From the mariachi’s to the dancing, it was such an unforgettable night! I will say the noise level is very loud, but it’s what makes it fun. If you’re looking to have a fun night, I’d definitely recommend!

    The mariachi band was too loud...way too loud and they stayed for 30 min near our table. It was impossible to have a conversation. Otherwise, the food was great and the service was excellent.
