Went for Taco Tuesday, slow when I got there but super busy when I left. Food was great, probably need another server or bartender on staff.

Service was good.. Food was terrible, can’t remember the last time I literally had a bad taste in my mouth. Maybe it was a bad night for them. But I would not go back.

We did a girls happy hour and ended up staying for hours and sampling a variety of the apps and the tacos too. We had a few speciality cocktails and they have so many options for tequila we will most definitely be back. We played a game of corn hole outside too on their patio. Definitely recommend.

Took probably 15 minutes after getting sat to have any staff recognize us, which continued as the service was pretty bad across the board. The caesar salad we ordered came out on a hot plate...why lol. Food overall was average at best. Two groups of people that came in to pick up their online orders and the restaurant either didn't have their orders or lost them, so those people had to wait quite awhile before picking up their orders. There are much better options for Mexican food out there, skip this one.

Drinks and Service are 5/5 for sure. Chips and salsa were 4/5. Pricing is reasonable. Actual entrees I would say 2.5/5. Pretty bland. I would say it’s like getting Mexican food in Indiana. Birria tacos seemed like the recipe was made by someone who has never seen or eaten a true Birria taco. Had a Carne Asada Taco and a Fish Taco, both were bland, soggy tortillas, and the Asada was more of a liver consistency and taste. If we just wanted awesome drinks and appetizers, we would come back for sure. But for actual Mexican food as a meal, we would head elsewhere, no second thoughts.

Slow bar service. Slow food service. Slow bar service on reorder (2nd round) Meat was tough (fajitas) Two stars because everyone WAS friendly. After being open over a year we expected a lot more. We will not be back. Too bad, as we live less than two minutes away.

We saw some great reviews and decided to eat there. There was a long wait to get food and all of the fish smelled fishy and spoiled. The food was poor. We came for the Burria tacos and they ran out and didn’t tell us til an hour later. Kevin was amazing and tried his best. Would not recommend

Our hostess and servers were wonderful but the music was a huge disappointment. This is supposed to be a Mexican restaurant with all the cultural amenities that come with it. Please rethink the music choices.

We have been coming here for nearly 2 years, probably about 20 visits. We were blown away for the first year or so with the food and the mango habanero margaritas. Food was fresh, and unique and so amazing. Service and environment were stellar. But, it really is unfortunate to say that we won’t be coming back. Over the past 6-8 months and 4 or so visits, the food, drinks and service have gone so far south!! They keep changing the menu and removing great items. The food quality is a D- now. And the service is terrible. And pretty sure it’s some cheap sugary mango mix in the margaritas now instead of the in-house mango infused tequila. Clearly they keep implementing cost cutting measures. And we aren’t the only customers taking notice. The place was empty at 7pm on a Friday where it used to be packed and reservations required. Really sad and hope they go back to what used to work so well!

I've been coming here since they opened and it was always amazing. Unfortunately my last 2 times dining here have been just ok. They've changed their recipes on the rice and beans, not as good. The vegan tacos also changed not for the better. Service is average at best. Our server just didn't seem engaged. The vibe of the restaurant is lacking. The place has always been energetic, busy, bustling. We were there at a prime hour and it was dead, no energy.

They could not find my reservation but luckily it was not crowded and they seated us right away. We had a nice quiet booth away from the crowd. I loved the open kitchen concept where we could see the chefs preparing our food. We had the shrimp and chicken fajitas which were amazing! The shrimp were cooked perfectly! Our waiter Brian was very attentive and made for a pleasant dining experience. Definitely will be going back when in Vegas again.
