After polling our groups thoughts, this place is a solid 4.3. The drinks were very good & the food was above average. The Doña's Chilaquiles & Steak & Mushroom Omelette were definitely the winners! The Bistec con Huevos steak lacked flavor. The Los Bennys was just ok. The service was very good & the ambience was cool! Very beachy cantina. They can accommodate large parties easily which is super nice!

Great good, good service. Disappointing in that we had a 6:30 reservation, and were asked to wait at the bar being 15 minutes early, though there were empty tables available at that time. After waiting at the bar for 15 minutes, no one came to seat us, so I walked over to ask about seating. Then we were seated at a table that was empty the entire we were at the rest. But once seated, the meal was very good.

Everything would have been perfect if there were more portable heaters on the patio. The service was pleasant and efficient, the food was really good, and the music was a nice touch, but I was freezing even though the waitress put a heater near us- it’s not enough on colder days.
