This was such a fun place to be, but the food was just ok! Our easier was fabulous, bieber and the decor was really done well! The carne asada tasted as if it had been sitting in a warmer too long, but the nirria taco was good!

Horrible service!! Our server only came to our table twice the whole night. We got our drinks and then she didn't come back for 40 minutes and we had been ready to order food the whole time. We didn't see her again until we wanted to close out. The restaurant wasn't overly busy (8pm reservation) so there's no excuse for such bad service. When we closed out she applied a 20% gratuity which wasn't disclosed to us at all when we sat down. This explained why she never came back to us since she knew either way she was getting a 20% tip from us (We usually tip very well but she didn't deserve it). She also asked for an additional tip which was ridiculous.The food was also mediocre at best. In total, our normal one hour dining experience turned into a 2 1/2 hour event due to the slow service. Never eating here again!!

Nice atmosphere, good service & drinks… Food was just OK. Carne asada & Shrimp fajitas and the short rib enchilada were decent. Salsa needs help, very bland.

Good Mexican food - freshly made margaritas, yummy chips and salsa, and I got tacos which were completely filled and very good.

Delicious meals! All four of us were very happy with our food! They brought a treat for the birthday girl and sang happy birthday to her! Our meals were served in a timely manner! Parking: Parking is right in front of the restaurant. Kid-friendliness: They were very nice to my grandson and made his food just the way he asked. Not spicy. Great, but plain for his 10 year old taste. He was very happy!
