Service was superb prior to receiving the food… tapered off until it seemed they needed the table. My husband ordered the Pork Verde. Very good flavor. I ordered the chicken fajitas. They did not come out on a sizzling platter with roasted onions and peppers; instead it was a red colored sliced chicken breast with a few softly cooked peppers in a plate. The meat had very little (if any) flavor. The guacamole was very good, and luckily there was some with the meal. Disappointed by my meal. Looks like they’re popular for enchiladas though. Very loud (everyone talking) and then around 8 they turned the music even louder. Really wanted to love this place. Maybe try again, but I would not order the same dish. Recommend asking more questions about the dish. Servers were very nice

Not worth the price. Very hard to have a conversation The tables are too wide so you are far away from each other. The noise level is loud. No ocean view from our table or most tables.
