   The hostess informed me that she could not honor our reservation. She stated that the kitchen had halted food orders and that we would not be able to order. She suggested that we try to find seats at the bar if we wanted to drink (only). This restaurant is failing.

   Went on Cinco De Mayo and they were not prepared. Not enough staff and highly unorganized. Making a reservation only put you in priority for seating instead not at your reservation time. Staff was exhausted and let you know that. One bartender. We ordered our food and drinks at the same time to try to expedite. Was told that even dressing on the side may not happen since they were not reading doing modifications....food came out 45 minutes later and we still didn't have our drinks. We also had to get up and go to the kitchen to get our utensils...plastic at that...my fajita salad had nothing but lettuce and chicken none of the other stuff on it and one of our people only received half of their order. Will not be going back.

   Our reservation wasn’t honored, we were just given “priority” in the queue for a table. Service was slow and the food was marginal.

   My group and I went on Cinco de Mayo, and even though I understand that is a more busier day, because of the inclement rain it wasn’t truly that crowded. The service he received was horrible waited forever just to get served and the food quality was also very poor. How do you order nachos and you can literally count the number of chips on the plate?!? Each chip was covered with meat which just made it super Soggy. Then there was an issue with the bill and the manager proceeded to have an attitude with us and made overall experience uncomfortable. Unfortunately, I can say that I doubt I will go back there again.

   Our late Saturday lunch was delicious. The chips were light, salty, and plentiful. Accompanied with 2 salsas, the chips were a great way to start the meal. The octopus ceviche was fresh, light, and vibrant. The pork belly entree was unctuous, beautifully plated, and so good! The 72 hour short rib dinner wasn’t as tender as could be, but the flavor was well developed. Both were winners! For dessert, the fried ice cream was perfect, accompanied by cinnamon taco strips. Yum. Tres leches cake was also a hit. Oh and the drinks were yum…the standard margarita was as good as any we’d ever had. Service was friendly and gracious. It appeared to us that perhaps additional staff was needed…we’d waited longer than expected to be greeted. But after that, we had no complaints. The noise level could easily get out of control due to the high open ceilings. But our mid-afternoon meal was conducive to conversation. We’ll be back!

   Ate outside which was more quiet but right by traffic coming into Towne Center. Really enjoyed the darker salsa, ceviche, and tortilla soup!!! Will be back to try other items.

   Our food was just alright, mostly dry and not super flavorful- I got the pan fried chicken and it was soooo dry so I asked for more sauce to give it some life and they charged us $4 for a side of sauce…. Second time trying this place, same experience so we probably won’t return.

   Service started out poorly - my guest and I arrived about 3 minutes apart, both citing the same reservations, but were shown to two different tables, out of sight of each other. We sat separately for over 15 minutes before a text exchange let us know we were both there. Despite a a roughly 1 to 1 ratio of servers and guests, the level of attention was minimal, and it took forever to place our order. Probably would have been better if we hadn't had the chance. The food was as close to inedible as I have had lately - smelling heavily of the cleaning fluid that the waitress was using to wipe down tables. Portion sizes were large enough that I could have taken leftovers home for a meal or two, but there was no desire to do so.

    We tried Urbano for the first time and our experience was ok. Service was very very slow and there were only 3 or 4 tables occupied. My husband’s order came out wrong (not the dish he ordered) and they had to redo. The food was ok. Not a good value for the $$ and most likely will not return.
