We went with a group of 8 before seeing a show. The family style was a big hit and gluten friendly for one of our guests(besides the churros). Proximity to the Anthem and pitchers of margaritas made it even better

The place is nice, however unbelievable loud. Food was ok, it was quite crowded, took a while. At the end we noticed: We were the only table with a paid bottle of water instead of tap water. Looks like „let the stupid tourists from Europe pay“.

Ceviche was abismal, waiter was horrible and not helpful, food overall was just ok at best. Typical Mexican that you can get anywhere no new food plates that stood out, thought it may be "newer Mexican". Not a good place to take a client to.

Our server was not good. Orders not correct, food brought out with gaps, and one entree salad was returned with the salad from a returned dish that had salmon on it - so it tasted like fish. They acknowledged that and brought out a couple desserts - that we did not want. We live locally at the wharf and belong to knead reserve. Wa very disappointing.
