Service was good but the food and drink were mediocre. The chips, salsa, and guacamole were all excellent. The tacos were fine; I could have made them better at home and I’m neither Texan nor Mexican. The drinks were really not very good. Didn’t seem like there was any quality control. How does a Tex Mex restaurant make such a mid margarita?

Food was very good. I ordered a chicken Caesar salad and the were out of romaine lettuce!? So I ordered a chicken taco a la carte and it was good. My daughter shared some of her combo fajitas which were outstanding. Love the vibe and decor.

When I went to the restaurant site it prompted me to sign up for an app to get $25 off of a $75 purchase. The app is a scam that doesn’t work. The manager tried to help with the app, but it didn’t work and was confusing. They should not promote this app if it cannot be used properly. The host was rude and drinking at the bar with his friends. There were two servers that waited on us were great and the food was good, but I won’t be returning because of the app and the rude host.

Really good margaritas. We had the margarita of the day which was mango. They really missed out by not using spicy salt on the rim with a slice of lime. That would have made it perfect. It was still really good. We shared the nachos with plant based meat and those were really good. I normally don't like jalapenos but they had pickled jalapenos which were tasty. Great service.

Had 11am reservations. We showed up and someone opened the door said “ELEVEN THIRTY” then slammed the door in our face. So we went elsewhere. Didn’t even apologize about their mistake. No clue about the food. But at that level of customer service I can’t imagine they are doing well at anything else.

Our server was amazing, she took care of every single request and was always one step ahead. The entire staff was just the best. Food was delicious and unique. I do think that costs are out of control though, I know, I know, don't go out if you can't afford it. 2 burgers with fries, 1 pitcher of house/basic margaritas (a pitcher that is 1/2 ice - so 1/2 a pitcher of liquid, that's it. $97 total food and drink before tip. Costs are rising and of course you need to pass it along to the customer, it's justified - but so is calling attention to it. Will costs come down? I'm not counting on it. Still, great service and great food, lively atmosphere, just not a good value.

Always great service, and vibe, but food wasn’t up to it’s usual standards. Chips were plain, tacos were dry (egg/chorizo, marinated chicken), and queso seemed reheated as it thickened quickly.

The food was mediocre, however the service was great. There was one waitress and she was doing everything - making the drinks at the bar and taking care of the tables. I’m not sure how she did it all but she did a great job! It was really frustrating because we went there to watch the Sunday night football game, however instead of the game they had boy band music playing extremely loud. We asked them to switch the sound from the music to the game and they said they don’t do that during dinner… There were four tables inside that had people at them and three of the tables were watching football. It was extremely frustrating, we won’t be going back there for the games or the food.

We went to this bar/pub at 5:30 pm on a Friday and it was very mellow. Not a lot of folks but lots of TV screens with sports on them. We were impressed with the service (fast, friendly, respectful….thanks Aubrey!) and the food ( a Tex-Mex fusion of dishes that were fresh and delish with hot churros and three sweet dips for dessert.) We’re bringing our friends next time.

We understand the bartender was alone, bartending and taking orders but there were only like 10/12 people, took more than 15 mins to get a second drink but we had to ask the busser to tell the bartender, while the bartender was talking to one customer and being on the phone, and took more than 20 mins for the bartender to pick up the check so we can go, she never picked it up, we had to go up. This is our second time here, first time was amazing service but this time was just as bad as a Buffalo Wild Wings service.

This restaurant is excellent. The food is fresh, delicious and affordable. The staff was so nice and helpful. I would definitely eat here again. Perfect for a family, a date or just to hang out and relax. I had the tortilla soup with chicken, my daughter had the salmon and my husband had a salad with shrimp- it was all perfect!

I love this place. They had the BEST buffalo chicken wings I’ve ever had until they stopped using natural chickens and switched to what was hormoned or steroided out big brutal chicken wings. This makes them unnaturally big and rubbery. If they go back to natural chickens, these wings can not be beat.

ALWAYS A GREAT TIME! This is our "Go-to" spot: Dates, anniversaries, special occasions, just because! The Ownership and staff always have a good time, and make sure we do as well. My girl is from Texas which is how we first discovered this spot, and it never lets us down; From the Queso to the tacos and everything in-between (Helpful Hint: While everything is amazing, the burger is INCREDIBLE!) -Thanks to TJ for the great service!

Measly portions, the refried beans tasted burnt. The cheese in the enchilada was barely melted. Worst of all while most restaurants give you chips and salsa, this one charges and they were very subpar. The chips had a yucky seasoning.
