Slow. Took 45 minutes to get a drink. Another 20 minutes to get chips [with guac]. Another 30 for entrees. Guac and salsa, shredded cheese and pico de gallo all tasted store bought and not fresh. The steak and shrimp fajitas were overcooked and rubbery. No need to return.

Had a reservation at the restaurant for 5:15 PM (was attending the Lea Michelle show at 7:00 next door at the Bergen PAC. If you’re ever looking for a dinner prior to the event, this was a great one. We were seated at our reservation time. The staff was friendly and Waiter was great , efficient and knowledgeable. The atmosphere was wonderful and the food was very good. The nacho plate was huge. We also had the empanadas and shrimp tacos. Service was great. Food was great. We were in and out in plenty of time. It was our first time at the restaurant, but if we’re ever back in the area again, I will definitely stop again. It was a nice time. If you’re ever looking for a dinner prior to the event, this was a great one.

The service was very slow. The restaurant was very hot. The food was pretty good but my steak fajitas weren’t seasoned. Could have used some salt and pepper on the table. The happy hour menu and prices were very good. The classic margarita was delicious. The guacamole and chips very good. It just felt like it was understaffed and the temp in the restaurant was very uncomfortable. Could use better HVAC.

A fun atmosphere. Food was delicious. Our waiter, was terrific, attentive and helpful. The prices are a little higher than most Mexican restaurants we go to. But will recommend to anyone going to Bergen PAC for the evening or just a night on the town in Englewood.
