    We very much enjoyed the food! Matthew our waiter was not very attentive and clearing of dishes was not expedient. Mole we love the food, however I’d like to see improvement on Service.

    This was our second time dining here due to the menu and delicious food. So glad we had a reservation since the restaurant was full and very lively!! Food excellent, however Service is lacking. We had 3 different Servers yet had to ask 2 for our check after waiting 15 minutes. Also the Waiter never inquired if we needed anything during our dinner as we would have ordered another drink. Per previous reviews, service has been an issue, I think once the Service is improved you will have 5 stars across the bar. Overall we enjoyed the food. including the crab-guac and cornbread for dessert. thx

    This is not your "typical" Mexican restaurant by any means. The quality and variety of the food is exceptional and their homemade chips and guac are incredibly addictive. Try the Cadillac margi but ask for spicy--you will love it! Service is genuine and very appropriate. Excellent choice if you like food with real flavor!
