Waiters did not keep up with needs of table. Had to ask repeatedly for refills of salsa and drinks. One small cup of salsa for a table of 4 was not near enough. Each person should get their own small cup. No one wants to risk double dippers. They sat it and forget it. The food was good. It a good atmosphere inside and outside.
