    Went for dinner on Cinco de Mayo. Our server Kenneth was excellent. The food was delicious and it was a great night to be sitting outdoors.

    It was nothing special at fairly high prices. Better off going to the local taco shop for 1/4 the price

    Lovely and accommodating, but weirdly out of several menu items at 7:30 pm on a weeknight.

    We’ve had good happy hour experiences here but dinner was so-so. The waiters were working hard but apparently were understaffed and several items we asked for or ordered didn’t arrive. Taco fillings were over cooked but the guacamole was good.
