I couldn't believe the prices for the restaurant, especially for the subpar food quality. Condado next store blows Mesa out of the water in every aspect. Chips and guac was $13, which isn't outrageous because it has free chips refills. My burrito was $20 and no sides were provided. Burrito was good overall but I wasn't blown away for the price. The other order was 3 hard shell tacos for $20, which at least included rice and beans on the side. We wanted to customize them but the waiter said their new chef doesn't customize things. The beef in the tacos was overcooked and lacked seasoning. I can't recommend this place for food. Their tequila list has to be one of the largest in the region and state, but I can't comment on their quality since we stuck to food.

Prices have gone up and portions have gone down. We have gone here many times, this was the last tome. Food is simply not that good for the price. $20 for chicken fajitas that came with probably 4 ounces of chicken if that. It was all cheap peppers and onions. Never again.

The front patio room is like a greenhouse effect, we were all sweating. They said the air was on but it didn’t feel like it. The food was ok, the drinks were expensive, it was too loud for conversation. Not a great experience overall.

The service was absolutely amazing, staff was great. However, food was mediocre. For what was charged for the gauc flight, we expected a lot. It was three sauce cups with all the same tasting guac just different toppings. The tacos weren't good, and the tortillas were dry and tasteless. We absolutely loved the staff though.

Drinks are fun, but big coastal city prices. Kind of shocking. Food good but not great, also amazingly expensive. Service well intentioned but slow, can’t find your server, and then they aren’t knowledgeable. This is mostly a place to get a good sidewalk seat.

The place was phenomenal. We came in with a party of 12 and had a couple unexpected guests show up and the restaurant and staff were extremely accommodating to help seat us all together. Our server did a fantastic job keeping everything in order and getting everything out in a timely manner. Prices were a little high for what you received, but it’s par the course for dining in Royal oak. Overall it was a great experience and we will be back again!

We’d not be here and tried it with some friends. The place is cool but our waitress was not so friendly. I ordered enchiladas and asked if I could mix proteins, she said, “no”. I asked nicely, why not? She just said “we don’t do that.” Hmm. The food was okay. Rice and beans as sides were blah. Chips and salsa average. It was fine but nothing special. The Margaritas were small and average.

This was not my first time at this restaurant; however, it was my first experience with extremely slow service and poorly prepared food. It seemed like they were short staffed, the server informed us of “ALL” the items they were out of like steak, sour cream, etc. and my fajita veggies were beyond charred. They were clearly understaffed and it showed.

Went for Mother’s Day and got there at open with a reservation. We were seated quickly. Server was great, just overwhelmed and it seemed short staffed from the back of the house. Drinks were slower to come out than hoped for but were good. Food was great. Several menu items were not available. Overall it was an ok experience, but nothing that wowed is for the price point.

Not worth the price and the service took forever. I ordered a marg flight and it took over an hour so I just asked them to take it off because I didn’t want it (we had already gotten our food and I ordered the flight prior to ordering our food) and they wouldn’t and it was $26. We ordered queso as a appetizer and they brought it out without chips and we have to wait about 20 minutes after getting the queso for the chips. Food overall was okay but wasn’t worth the $90 bill for two

The food was horrible. Not authentic at all. There was no seasoning. The salsa and chips was even gross.i would’ve enjoyed chipotle better and saved ALOT of money. We bought a tower drink that taste like juice that cost $60 🤦🏽‍♀️. I give this place 1 star and that’s because our waitress was excellent.

Place was decently crowded on a Tuesday evening. We reached ahead of our reservation and were promptly seated. Food portions were generous but overall bland in taste. Service was extremely good with the server checking on us from time to time. Overall a good place if you are more interested in the drinks than the food.
