    Nice experience overall. Small portions of food-tacos. Drinks price a bit higher than expected. Great service.

    Food and drinks were great, especially the filet! Unfortunately they were not able to serve the fish tacos (as mahi mahi that was delivered was not up to their standards, which i appreciate) but the service was outstanding! The menu changed slightly from when they first opened - they used to have a delicious salad with maybe jicama, pepitas, and kale? I can’t remember exactly but I wish they’d bring that back!!

    Food was outstanding as was the service. We really enjoyed our lunch there. We had the steak, chicken and shrimp tacos and can state they were some of the best we have had in the Houston area.
