    The service was good, and the food was okay. The carnitas fried rice was sweet, almost like dessert, and the kids even found it too sweet. The fajitas were nothing special, and our order didn’t have the listed shishito peppers. The steak we ordered was medium-rare, but it was still tough. The taco salad with chicken pastor had very dry chicken, almost like jerky. Perhaps that was the goal? Not all the ingredients listed on the menu were included in the final dish. I would have appreciated the heads up about that. The charred tomato salsa was yummy, and the shrimp ceviche was okay. Overall, there aren’t any huge complaints, but nothing was memorable. That said, I likely wouldn’t return because nothing stood out.

    Our first time and we really liked the food, the atmosphere was great, but the service could be better. We felt pressured because the server brought us the bill before we had even finished eating and we wanted to order more drinks.

    We had a reservation for 5:00; as soon as the restaurant opened. Service was slow and menu was limited. Food was good but not a wow factor. We have had better at this location in the past.

    Food was fine but not sure it was worth the time or money. It was a relatively quiet Saturday when we were there and our service was so slow that lunch took an hour and 45 minutes.

    Service was very good, but the server said that the guacamole would serve 8 people, but it was much more like 16 people which created an upcharge situation where we paid for much more than we needed.
