   Food was good but service was not good. All of the food was served cold. Waited forever for drinks.

   Food was good, it was just slow.Took 20 mins for guacamole and it wasn’t made table side as advertised. No biggie. My server was nice but not very present and a lil forgetful.

   Went for a birthday celebration and it didn’t seem to be overcrowded at all. However, it took 10 minutes for our server to come and take our drink order and another 10-15 for the drinks to come. We ordered six items for the table to share and received three. We would of made our server aware, had she come over to the table at all. The food we did receive was great, but small servings. When our server did come back, we made her aware and she apologized and brought us the check and did not offer to bring the missing food. Drinks were very expensive and low quality. Would love to try the food again because what we did get was great. But not willing to risk a similar experience.

   Authentic Mexican way beyond tacos and enchiladas, along with good variety of drinks. We got great service from Princess who, realizing our entrees were taking longer than acceptable, was attentive in keeping us informed and actually comping a beer that took way too long to arrive. Our conversation and beverages kept us engaged and when entrees arrived, the time lag was basically forgotten. While the whole place was lively with conversation, the bar conversation was tough to follow thanks to an extremely noisy ice making and crushing machine that was non-stop. That's got to be addressed. Bartenders were apologetic, but you could sense it was driving them crazy, as well.

   Food was good but the interior space feels like a box with echo. and backroom has tons of food traffic back to kitchen and bathroom. Tough space.

   The food is Gringoized Mexican and quite pricey. But that seems to be acceptable for its Mainline location. It was very busy. Service was pleasant but very very slow. On that, our experience might have been unusual. Food was meh.

    The table-side guacamole was delicious, but the two taco dishes we ordered weren’t very good. They both lacked authentic Mexican taste and quality ingredients.

    Our OpenTable reservations were not there when we got there but they were able to seat us thankfully. Three tequila brands that were on the menu were not available and my wife’s meal that she asked for no chorizo came to the table with extra chorizo… other than that it was good…other than having to ask for our finished drink glasses to be taken away…

    Awful. It’s worth taking the train to NYC and subway to the Union Square or Upper West Side location. Go to a Fearless or Starr restaurant if in Philly or the western suburbs.

    Good was great! All of it. The drinks were also pretty good albeit a bit pricy, but that’s not a deterrent. The lack of stars is solely due to the slowness/disappearance of our waitress who was super sweet, but just not there. We were there for 2.5 hours (and we eat fast 😅) and food came out relatively fast after ordering. I would totally go again, just hope service is more available.

    Ashley was a very nice and effecient waitress. Guacamole tableside was good. Unforunately, the entrees were poor at best. Enchiladas were room temp and not enjoyable at all. Sonoma Cutrer by the glass was a very light pour for $18 when its about that price for a bottle retail. Not planning to return anytime soon. Disappointed.

    This has become one of our new favorites. It's worth the 35 minute drive for the table side guacamole alone. We have never been disappointed.

    Mannnnnn…me and my family was soooo hype to go to this place!! It’s a real cute place. Butttttt the services sucks & took 20mins to even acknowledge us at our table. He comes over to takes are drink order, my sister and cousin thought there “ margaritas” was ok. I didn’t like mines so I sent it back.. so then some lady comes over and started making our guacamole. I started asking her questions all to find out that she didn’t even speak English nor understand English. So she called our server over and I asked him could we add things to the guacamole. He gave me a stupid look and I had to explain to him what I meant. I wanted to add lobster to my guacamole he said OK we will bring one out. My sister looks at me and say is he gonna bring out a whole lobster , we were all confused. Then he comes back and say” there is no more lobster”. I’m like OK fine forget it . So we order our food, I ordered the” Ribeye steak” which is $50, my sister and cousin orders the “shrimp tacos & Mac & Queso”. 40 minutes goes by and our food had yet to come out. Finally our food comes out, By some person we have never seen, he just dropped the food at the table and leaves. Another 15 minutes go by I’m looking for my server because I do not have a steak knife and I want a A1 sauce.. so he comes over and I asked him for A1 sauce “ they don’t have any” ask for A steak knife, thank the Lord he bought it right back to me.. so everyone has their food and we start eating, lorddddddd, I asked for my steak to be “medium well” it was completely burnt and taste like charcoal, my cousin and my sister tacos , tortillas were soggy and nasty. So they just ate the shrimp out of the tortillas. I sent my steak back and just told him I was okay. So the only thing that was really good was the guacamole other than that everything else sucked!! We will never go back again!! So I do not recommend this place!! And if you do decide to go there just sit at the bar!

    Menu had a nice variety of items and the venue is gorgeous. Salsa, guacamole and chips all lacked salt, however, so were rather bland. Pork carnitas tacos were a little dry but were very flavorful. Duck caritas tacos were moist and not fatty/greasy (which is the case with most duck, so that was nice) but the overall taste was a little too sweet.

    While the food was very good, it was pretty pricey for Mexican. The queso and chips, delicious, was small, even for an appetizer. The margarita prices were on par with city restaurants, though they were very good. Definitely a very tasty meal- just be prepared for the prices. Almost $90 for dinner for 2- with just 1 drink each.

    Manhattan pricing for tacos and drinks. Guacamole was good, just too expensive to make it an everyday fun night to go out to dinner. Not worth it. 3 restaurants have failed here, I’m rooting for this place to make adjustments. Would love to see it succeed.

    We want to like this place. Second time here, and still not good. 1. Waiter, although well-intended, was not suited for the job. Poor service, didn’t take orders properly, was very scattered. 2. Wrong food order was delivered and billed (not just to our table, but also for the table next to us). This wasn’t a food runner issue, it was that the waiter took down the wrong order. And billed us for it (which was later corrected). 3. The frozen margarita was not mixed properly! Not sure how this happens when it comes from a machine. It ended up like a weird half-frozen, half clear, watery soup. It even looked wrong when it was delivered. We thought perhaps it was supposed to be that way? Until my wife tried it and we determined, nope it’s just not right. 4. Carnitas tacos were not good. Had a lot of fat/waste. And the edible portions just weren’t flavorful. seasoning was odd. 5. The tableside guac, although presented well, was missing salt. We want to like this place, but we’re not sure we’re going to give it a third try. There’s a lot more reasonably priced Mexican places in the area that serve much better food and have better service.

    Food was heavy, for lunch. The better entrees might be on the dinner menu. Guacamole was table-side but still lacked the taste of freshness, perhaps the quality of the tomatoes or the lack of lime or lemon juice in the mix. Hard working staff and warm, attractive space, really great music (Latina or Mariachi). They may just need a little time.

    We went to dine later on a Sunday night and the restaurant was beautifully decorated and had a fantastic vibe. Our waitress was prompt and we ordered the guacamole to share and tacos with various sides. As a whole, the food was incredibly fresh and was of a high quality. I felt it was very mild in seasoning and flavor. Price point was very high for what you got which I don't have a problem with if the food is on point, but with the seasoning lacking, probably won't be going back for a repeat performance. Bummer.
