   Took almost 25 mins for a drink, server was nice but super under staffed. Our appetizer got there before the drink. And the steak in the tacos was super dry, needed a lot of lime juice to make it taste good.

   Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I’m glad to hear your server was kind, but it’s clear we fell short in both timing and food quality—and that’s not the standard we strive for. The delay in your drink and the dry steak are both things we’ll be addressing with our team immediately. Your feedback is valuable, and I’m sorry we didn’t deliver the experience you deserved. We hope you’ll consider giving us another chance to get it right.

   My friends and I were excited to try new a brunch place. Sadly, it did not live up to the hype. Service is something they really need to work on. We had reservations at 10 am (opening time) and they had us wait. By time table ready one of our friends went to bathroom so we told host we were just waiting on her. She rolled her eyes at us. We went up stairs to be seated and no sign or person there. So we assumed we sat ourselves. Another host came later and said we had another table. We followed her and they sat us at a 4 person table with a chair sticking out in aisle. Mind you the place is completely empty and plenty of larger tables. I asked for different table and we were moved. The whole interaction awkward and not very friendly. The food was OK but not worth the service. The drinks were best part. Not sure if would come back as plenty of restaurants with better service.

   Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I’m really sorry to hear that your visit didn’t meet expectations, especially when you were excited to try us out for brunch. What you described—from the wait at opening to the awkward seating and unfriendly interactions—is not the kind of welcome we aim to give our guests. I appreciate your honest feedback, and we’ll be reviewing this closely with our team to make the necessary improvements. I’m glad to hear you enjoyed the drinks, but I understand that great service matters just as much. If you ever decide to give us another try, we’d love the opportunity to provide the kind of experience you were hoping for.

   Food was good (angus fajitas) and grilled shrimp salad. Restaurant’s indoor seating is loud - if you are bothered by noise sit on patios on the first or second floor.

   Disappointed. I want to say so much more but just plain disappointed. And I’m not even sure why I put it was my birthday in the notes. They didn’t even wish me a happy one so what was the point. I wish I didn’t go.

   I'm truly sorry to hear that your birthday experience with us was such a letdown. What should’ve been a special and celebratory visit clearly missed the mark, and I deeply regret that we didn’t even acknowledge your occasion—that’s unacceptable and not reflective of the care we strive to show our guests. You deserved a warm, memorable experience, especially on your birthday, and I completely understand your disappointment. I’d really appreciate the chance to connect and make this right if you're open to it. Please feel free to reach out to me directly at Jared.escalante@mexicansugarcocina(.com)

   From the minute we walked in the door for our 7:45p reservation the experience was marred. The hostess informed us that our table was not ready but was being prepared. Unfortunately, almost an hour later my reserved party of six was still waiting with no accurate estimate of when we would be seated. The manager was not at all accommodating and was not much more help than the hostess who was rude and had nothing more to offer than a dry apology four our inconvenience. The manager was listening to speak because before I could completely get out my issues (one of which was parking we had accrued before we had even been seated) he was rudely responding and using hand gestures to address me. That should have been my que to leave but we had booked this at the request of my daughter who was turning 35 that night (April 29th) so we stayed because it was too late to rearrange our plans and we were already out of 12 dollars each for garage parking, which later had to be extended. The night got better once we were finally seated and met Bruno. He was as helpful as he could be given how short staffed they were, so we waited all night for an extra sour cream and a shot of tequila that was requested at the start of the ordering of drinks. No one offered us anything for our troubles and seemed to care less. The food was mediocre, I am guessing it depends on what you order. The enchiladas were not appealing as they were hard on the bottom (my son and I both ordered enchiladas me crab and him beef) and both of plates were hard and a bit charred on the bottom making them hard to cut and eat. This dining experience was enough for me and my crew to determine we would NOT be visiting again. Unless this establishment improves its overall service, they will not exist very long
