    The restaurant scammed me. I had a dispute with some charges that were on my bill and after discussing my issue with the manager, she agreed to credit the charges on my card. However, credit never showed up. Be on your toes with these guys. Based on the character their manager has shown, I would recommend only paying cash and double checking the change they give back to you. 10 out of 10 would not recommend.

    We came in on a Saturday night with a group of 8 ppl. My first impression on walking in was - wow, there's a lot going on here. It was very loud and dark. The décor was quirky and eclectic. We ordered chips, salsa, and guacamole to start with- nothing annoys me more than a Mexican restaurant that charges for chips and salsa. We ordered the platter of 12 tacos--- trying everything from the lobster to the beef tongue. Nothing I'd write home about or go back for. My friends did rave about the chicken quesadilla- so if you go, try that.

    Margaritas are spot on. All of the tacos and salsas I've tried are delicious!

    The food was great! Unfortunately, the service was not, we sat for 20 minutes before anyone took our drink order, the restarting was pretty quiet and our waitress was quite busy standing with a group of other servers chatting...

    The food was okay and the drinks were good, but if you want to split the check they can't do so. They say they have an old system that cannot allow them to split the check but they can take different sorts of payments. Service was mediocre.

    Loved rustic atmosphere of dining area. Service was well timed. Drinks are a generous size even during happy hour. Tacos were excellent - sampled talipia, pork and cheese, which was our favorite. Guacamole was really tasty and loved the chip size & shape.
