Only table available was in the bar they said even though I had reservations. It was too small, all 5 of us were scrunched in a booth in the bar, server was not helpful at all, food didn’t look fresh whatsoever…This place has gone downhill! Been going there for years but I think this was the end of the SOL run for us!

Went for daughter bd dinner. Tables were so close to each other very hard to move and get out of your seat. Uncomfortable. Menus were never picked up so had lack of room. Food came and our daughter had to wait to get her tortillas so her food got cold. When we received the bill there was a surcharge. I asked if it was tip for workers and they said no the company keeps that money. Seriously. It’s best to increase your prices that already are inflated than to put an additional charge on the bill. Our first time and last visit. Made reservations to what we thought would be a special dinner as restaurant came recommended sadly disappointing.

Food was great. Service was slow to start (waiting for hostess, table and first round of drinks). But then everything picked up. Really enjoyed food: shrimp taquitos, couple of tacos.

The host was nice enough and gave us good booth. The preset dishes that were set on the table was dirty. I Had to send my frozen margarita back as it was premixed and undrinkable. The food was fair. When we got our bill the restaurant charged me for the returned undrinkable margarita. Usually if you don’t like something and it’s sent back you don’t get charged. The weird thing is the waiter asked if we wanted our receipt to sign when we gave him our card. How would we be able to tip him on service if we didn’t write it on the receipt? We weren’t leaving a cash tip. I suspect he would have written his own tip in if we did not request the receipt. When I went to the restroom, a young worker came out of the stalls, straight to the mirror to fluff her hair and put the door back to work without washing her hands, disgusting! This place has gone down hill since the times I use to come here.

Food was very good - but a bit disappointed as I had asked for a table with a view when I made the reservation almost 2 weeks ahead. However when I arrived they only had tables in the middle of the restaurant w/o a view. And b/c the music was quite loud for a lunch, we often had to just nod or lean over to speak with each other. Worth a return visit to see if I can get a table with a view!
