    Started with the drink order that took forever to place even after the chips were literally dropped on our table. Margarita came out hot snd my husband ordered a beer with a cold glass He got the beer with a glass of ice. Ordered a salad with no onions… covered in onions… Ordered tacos with flour tortillas got corn which I hate. Lucky we got a table outside so the ambience was the only saving grace. If you’re looking for somewhere that serves the masses and no interest in you with service this is restaurant is for you.

    We had the guacamole and seafood relleno and both were amazing. The white sangria was also fantastic. We had a great evening with the great food and view!

    Great food, good portions, the server was great. We sat outside which was beautiful. The music was very loud which makes it hard to talk.

    Good experience dining at 7pm on a busy Saturday night - food came out VERY fast! It was perhaps a little more salty than my preference but hot and good.

    Food was really good. We sat outside and the ambiance was nice but can get a little loud. Great view of the ocean (which is across the street). Sits on a street so lots of car traffic but not too bad. The parking is a little congested. we parked in the hotel valet area and they discounted it since we were going to the restaurant only. Server originally started out good but after our food came she definitely disappeared. Seemed a little annoyed when my dinner mate asked for some type of sauce for her raise as it seemed really bland and had no real flavor to her. Would have ranked higher had the service been better.
