    The service was poor. The food was okay, with minimal choices. We had hoped for better.

    I was there for an early lunch in a Sunday and they had run out of MANY food and drink items. The service was also lacking- no one ever checked on us after our food was delivered. I would not return.

    Service was ok, food was un-impressing, drinks were not good Convenient location and great setting, before a show, but don’t expect much.

    Menu is limited but there are some nice choices. I ordered their guacamole and chips to start. It was very good and also very popular. Next I had their street tacos with steak. Although the steak was well seasoned there were pieces of fat that were not very pleasant. It was a cool day but still perfect for patio dining so even though there were issues with the tacos I will return to sample other items.

    Unfair to rate, as we were there during the military takeover of our streets. Helicopters and sirens added nothing to the ambience! The food, cocktails and service; however, were terrific. Next time.
